The source of the problem?
Could this be the source of the EpicWired nonsense which Bunnie reported on a while back? The similarity of the name and apparently of the philosophy make me wonder.
Pr. David Luecke of Royal Redeemer "Lutheran" Church has been pushing "Church Growth" nonsense in the LCMS for years. Perhaps it's wishful thinking to imagine that tracing one particular contamination to one of all too many sources means that the pollution of LCMS doctrine and practice it represents may yet still be stopped. But it's worth a prayer. Perhaps the LCMS may yet repent, and return to the divinely-ordained means of the Word and the Sacraments, rather than human gimmicks and manipulation, as the means actually spread the actual Gospel, rather than merely building large membership rolls and impressive attendance figures on the basis of an adulterated facsimile.
Thanks to the Aardvark for the link.
