LCC 2022 Convention: Commission on Adjudication Hasn’t Met Since 2017 Convention

Reading the convention workbook has turned up some interesting tidbits - but I never anticipated finding this report. "Due to an oversight as a result of the restructuring of our Synod at the last convention, current provisions in the 2017 Handbook for the number of memebers on the Commission on Adjudication do not meet the...

CEF/DIL: Refuting the Unofficial Party Line

When the whole ABC District debacle debuted in Jan 2105, depositors that'd trusted the Lutheran Church with their funds were treated rather shabbily - good information wasn't forthcoming, District officials misrepresented what had actually happened, District struck a Task Force to investigate what happened and when the task force issued its first report, disbanded the...

Decorated Canadian Veteran And Pastor: Trudeau Has Declared War On His Own People

Jeremiah 12:5 talks about how people that aren't up to a simple difficulties will be in trouble when real challenges come. LCC should've caught the ABC District CEF / DIL's fiasco before it metasticized and dealt with the inevitable result when it became public. It didn't, and as a consequence people who've been Lutherans for...

CEF/DIL – Will There Yet Be Consequences?

I've written many articles about the lack of action by the various Synodical officials even in the face of an outright conviction by the ASC Securities. Today Rev Clifford wrote a post in the CEF Investors Forum that - at long long last the Synod Board of Directors has done something about the people involved...

After Justice is Found

To date LCC has continued its policy of silence - acting like the events that led to CEF / DIL didn't happen or doing anything to console the victimes. Synod even allowed Pr Ruf - a convicted criminal - to receive a Call to another church. Ordinarily that's only allowed for clergy members in good...

LCC Synod in Convention: Lightning Round

Greetings fellow LCCers! Ordinarily I'd let my 4-parter on Synod's convention publish under the original one-a-day schedule and then work on some other topics I have sitting in my queue.  Then I got some comments to part 1 that resulted in a post I felt important enough to publish in a "lightning round" post. Parts...

“If The Lord Wills”

Back on December 9, 2019 LCC Board Chair Arnold Drung posted an article to the Candian Lutheran site titled "If the Lord Wills: A Report on Synodical Planning." The choice for this passage is based on the following paragraph: We remember the words of James 4:13-15: “Come now, you who say, ‘Today or tomorrow we...

Whoever Causes One of These Little Ones Who Believe in Me to Sin….

“Whoever receives one such child in my name receives me, but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin,it would be better for him to have a great millstone fastened around his neck and to be drowned in the depth of the sea. “Woe to the world for temptations to sin! For it is necessary...

My Thoughts about the LCC – ASC Settlement

To start - here's the timeline of the ASC's actions along with the documentation that was released along the way. I've made backup copies of all the original documents and provided links to them 'just in case'. ASC: Alberta Securities COQB: AB Court of Queens Bench ABC BOD: ABC District Board of Directors 2018-06-27 ASC...

This site can’t be reached

Recently I read a note from SP Teuscher to the Synod members that looked like grist for the mill for this blog, so I went to the Canadian Lutheran website to see if  I could find the article in order to link to it. This is what I saw:  Naturally I then tried the Lutheran...
