“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."

Synod BOD Town Hall Meeting: My Response to Carl Vehse

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.

But what had Immanuel Baptist done? A recent Washington Post article "The Sin...
