Is the LCMS sell-out to Methobapticostalism a done deal?
Some time ago I blogged on the move by the pro-Methobapticostals in the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod to declare pulpit and altar fellowship (full communion) with a Methobapticostal-leaning group called The Association of American Lutheran Churches.
Tragically, the LCMS Commission on Theology and Church Relations has unanimously voted to approve this ill-advised move. The take of the Wisconsin Synod on the whole matter- including a summary of the very sound reasons for concern- can be found here.
LCMS President Gerald Kieschnick- the Anti-Walther- is on the verge of a great triumph in what certainly seems to be his ongoing crusade to de-Lutheranize the Missouri Synod and turn it into merely a somewhat high-church version of American "Evangelicalism."
The fellowship recommendation must be approved by the triennial LCMS convention this summer.
