In the article 'LCC Synod BOD Channels "Lucy with the Football"' I discussed how the Synod BOD stated they were holding a town hall meeting at Leduc AB before changing the meeting format to what was in effect an after-church social with no advance warning. "Carl Vehse" commented on that post as follows. My response... Continue Reading →
The "Peanuts" cartoon strip was a long running cartoon that was serialized in various newspapers for fifty years and was arguably the longest running story told by a single human being. When any comic strip runs that long its almost certain that particular gags will recur, and one such gag is the one of Lucy,... Continue Reading →
Following is a clip of the 2017 Synod convention passing Resolution 17.03.06 to Decline to Discuss CEF from Committee 3. Committee 3's proposal confined itself to how the ABC District's CCAA proceeding was being overseen by the courts and left out the ecclesiastical aspects (namely telling people their money was safe when they knew it...

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 →

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.
