First of all, I was not using the term conservative in the sense you used it, as in contrast to "liberal", a word I did not use.<br /><br />A conservative in the theological sense, as Lutherans use that term, means precisely how I used it, to conserve the status quo. Schroeder wants to conserve the old WELS (pre-1970's), as I noted, not the "status quo" as you said I said (big difference there). And until one starts finding the kind of article and practice of the nature that was posted here (by Rev. Frey) then you will just have the same old watered down version of Lutheranism, the kind of which the current administration seems to wish to conserve, old WELS.<br /><br />Dick Dale<br /><br />PS It is useful to respond to what a person actually writes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8818242304034182219.post-43320840746887762492010-01-12T21:41:47.176-06:002010-01-12T21:41:47.176-06:00Dick Dale,
