There's a saying back home that folks use to describe themselves: "Minnesota Nice." Much of that reputation has to do with the large Lutheran population of that state. It's been two weeks since Rev. Todd Wilken was fired and his program, "Issues, etc." was cancelled. Who knew that Lutherans could get so upset?
This website is at the forefront of those who are demanding answers. Save the LCMS! A short visit will reveal a US Congressman signing a petition to bring "Issues, etc." back, a leaked financial report from KFUO radio, and another report showing lots of money being spent on the "Fan into Flame" campaign. Finally, this website has posted a couple of audio clips from the program that replaced "Issues, etc."
I think that they are raising a lot of very valid questions. Time will tell if the leadership in St. Louis will shoot straight. So far their public relations work has been fairly clumsy. Those responses have been rebutted in the Wall Street Journal and the blogosphere.
Pray for the LC-MS.
