It is the mid-to-late 20th century <i>Lutheran Witness</i> pablum, with which a generation of Missouri Synod laity grew up, that papered over the divisions, which informed pastors then knew existed.<br /><br />The increase in information available to the laity today also increases the need to provide theological education of the laity. Along with the increase in wheat has also been an increase in chaff.Carl Vehsehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00348831096001668813noreply@blogger.com
