Doing the Business of the Church
The ABC District has updated their District Convention web page with the convention proceedings document. Included in the update is a historical overview of District's history. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8e0Meu1wRrA&feature=youtu.be The video acknowledges some of the damage that was done by CEF/DIL, sadly it also repeats the "funding shortfall" line it asserted back in Jan 2015 and has been repeating ever...

This is a follow-up to Update #2 where I discussed the implications of the convention delegates being separated by clergy and lay status. I wrote that article on the basis of what I believed was a report by an convention attendee. I have since gotten confirmation that the separate seating did not happen and the... Continue Reading →
(insert drum roll here....) And the West Regional Pastor is.... https://www.facebook.com/lutheranchurch.canada/photos/a.448431991922194/1771854376246609/?type=3&__xts__%5B0%5D=68.ARD5uWlljFMZ_MRr79z8dnxT6jMRqTJ1HkjabISbyVAEu1newGBc031UNWDDwGc4lWfTPiwx1OYLA3G3elI_2o-aFMY_8W9uC11CVjWzU0mwODiLPq-q3ROXRXdVCNJPNjSIJjGhRS-sO3ZGbA0o8HfLt0DRoM550Al-N0AW5MpZU79KPbzVP_Sm1FuE3XANuloyUSEmFsgYKAneocxQ9Dd81VQ&__tn__=-R
It has also been reported that convention allowed the Board to not get its books audited with the purported reason being "the Monitor won't allow it" due to the CCAA proceeding. First - I would want to hear that directly from the Monitor and preferably in writing so I would have someone to sue if the gov't... Continue Reading →
Update 2018-10-21: I wrote this article on the basis of what I believed was a report by an convention attendee. I have since gotten confirmation that what I alleged happened - namely the separation of delegates by clergy and lay status during the convention - did not happen. That means that I accused President Schaeffer... Continue Reading →
The information I'm getting about the convention is a mixed bag. First - there's still no audited financials for the last term and no apparent consequence for this failure of execution. Second - the new bylaws still want to give the BOD the right to amend the bylaws w/out a confirmation vote by the membership.... Continue Reading →
LCC has posted a few pictures to the Lutheran Church Canada FB group. If you want to follow developments I expect this is the place to be. Wishing the delegates all the Lord's wisdom and guidance! https://www.facebook.com/lutheranchurch.canada/photos/a.448431991922194/1769648839800496/?type=3&theater ANO

I apologize for all the posts today - I do hope this is the last one. 🙂 Late this afternoon Candace Rivet forwarded a letter from President Schaeffer to the convention attendees. The letter follows: From: Candace Rivet Date: Oct 18, 2018 3:30 PM Subject: FW: A final note before the convention! Greetings Delegates! I... Continue Reading →
Earlier I posted a link to the 2012 version of the ABC District Handbook - it turns out there's a 2015 version that I was not aware of and did not have a copy of. You can get it directly from the ABC District Website here or you can get a copy from my backup archives here.
