The Disappearing 2017 Convention Videos – Found!

In "The Disappearing 2017 Convention Videos" I wrote about how the upgraded website lost the links to the 2017 Synod convention videos. It turns out the 2017 convention web page is still around complete with links to the various youtube videos. For those who'd like the direct link the page is at synod2017.lutheranchurch.ca. Hopefully the Canadian Lutheran's convention...

The Disappearing 2017 Convention Videos

When an organization updates it's website there's a good chance the changes will result in links lost, documents moving, and the like. One casualty of LCC's recent website update is a number of files this blog linked to have either moved or disappeared - so if you click on a link to an LCC article...

ABC District Publishes 2018 Convention Proceedings

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...

Luther Quest Author Asks: What’s Going on in Lutheran Church-Canada?

Every once in a while an author on another site will notice my little blog, comment on something I've written, and add a few thoughts of their own. Recently Rick Strickert over on Luther Quest cited my article "LCC East District Board Meeting, March 12-13 2018". What his article didn't get quite right was to the...

The CCMS Chair on the 2017 LCC Synod in Convention Restructuring Votes

The 2017 Synodical Convention was quite the experience with LCC anticipating some massive changes to it's structure. After the convention was over some positions had to be filled and the Canadian Lutheran posted an article"Seeking nominations for new regional positions". The first comment on the Canadian Lutheran article came from Rev. Robert Clifford who wrote: People are...

LCC 2017 Convention: Official Videos and Reports

Despite my best efforts to keep track of all things LCC that could be of interest to the general public, I managed to miss this. This isn't surprising since LCC doesn't provide a (obvious) way to get ongoing update emails - you have to go to their website and manually check to see what's happened...

A Cost-Effective Special Convention

After the delegates at the 2017 Convention started to realize what had happened when the Statutory Bylaws were passed, the question was asked "now what?" As one delegate asked "What do we tell the people we report to? 'Too bad, so sad'?" The answer was the changes were now the "law of the land" and...

Convention Recordings for Everyone

The Canadian Lutheran published the convention proceedings and made them available here which is great step forward in terms of LCC being transparent with its membership. Update 2017-11-08: The livestream event was deleted and the official recordings are no longer available. The copies I downloaded, converted, and stored will remain available.  But what if you don't have...
