I would like to hear some things in the beginning too, though. And if this synod strong arms or fires more pastors over just appearing on this radio show, they can plan on getting another serving of heck from us all. Hopefully they will have learned this by now?

Juhl Thu, 29 May 2008 16:02:18 +0000 http://necessaryroughness.org/?p=1753#comment-15164 RPW makes some salient points. It is my hope that the powers that be in the LC-MS do not muzzle the oxen while treading out the grain. IOW, that they ban professors and teachers from appearing on the program under penalty of termination. Further, I am not so concerned that Pr. Wilken and Mr. Schwarz will use the opportunity to have a bully pulpit. They won't. We're dealing with men in whom is no guile. The theologian of the cross suffers much knowing our Lord Jesus Christ suffered much worse before us. Deo volente, they will receive some money from me quite soon. I hope some local LC-MS congregations can band together, pool our financial resources, and get the show aired locally. RPW makes some salient points.

The show was so good because seminary professors, pastors, and so many others in the Synod were willing to come on. If the show goes "full-bore," then those who are cautious or concerned about their jobs or standing in the Synod will not support it. My husband and I were talking about this the other night. They are going to have to prove their integrity in that forum all over again. Then again, I suppose that it also matters whether or not that is the tact that they want to take. I suppose it also is a relief to not have the leash on as well. This is the case for many reasons.
