ELCA Outsourcing Magazine for Professional Church Workers?!?

A friend sent me an email, a topic popped up on the ALPB Forum, and an online ad for the magazine all indicate that the rumors are true.  The ELCA is a non-financial partner in a new magazine to replace Lutheran Partners which was directed primarily as Pastors of that church body.  It is interesting that this path was chosen and equally interesting that LOGOS Productions found it a viable market.  As one wag put it, how long before the flagship magazine The Lutheran is also farmed out for production by others (especially given its precipitous decline in subscriptions over the course of the ELCA's history.  Who knows?
