@NiceColorsss@WmWeedon Kieschnick pretty much waged an all out war against the liturgical confessional.
Had Harrison not won in 2010. A schism likely would have formed, one where the ownership of the Ft Wayne Sem would have been in question.
@PastorDavidUde@MattOsterndorf Singling out that one issue does not offset the confessional tilted direction the LCMS has gone. Ask any LCMS pastor over the age of 50 and they will tell you how much different things are since before 2010.
That said, yes I agree with you on that issue. It's not good.
@MattOsterndorf The WELS position on the Office of Holy Ministry elevates their teachers. Which has led to a more organized school system that has helped with retainment.
@timrwild The only thing about it that I wish it had was a large chapel. Looks like most of their large public services are held in a gym. Would be cool if it was a super beautiful chapel like the one at MLC or Kramer chapel at Ft Wayne.
