Must Read for LCMS Folks
If you are a member of an LCMS congregation, I urge you to go here and read what Scott Diekmann is writing about the Mission Revitalization program that is being developed our denomination.The link is to the first part of a series he is working on.
Frankly, I find it chilling in its complete betrayal of what it means to be a Lutheran church.
When our hope (and plans) for change are anything other than the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ as given in the Sacraments, we are going the way of King Saul.

King Saul you say? My first impression upon reading the article you linked is that it sounds more like the way of L. Ron Hubbard or Amway. Of course I'm going to react negatively to anything mentioning management or consultants, or management consultants (horror!), whatever the context, but this really doesn't sound like the church I grew up in. How sad.
