| Elton Stroh seems to be a regular, teaching the kids at Martin Luther College. Is he qualified by any academic standard - the metrics they use in higher education. |
Elton Stroh--like his mentors Waldo Werning and Kent Hunter--wants to talk about metrics. Not his own - the Shrinkers never talk about their own. He wants to use your statistics to get himself hired at a princely sum so he can tell you what to do. Spending a lot of money is at the top of his list, because that helps to disguise how much he costs the congregation.
I would drop by and say, "Faithfully administer the Means of Grace. No charge."
Ever since the bankrupt Robert Schuller got juiced on congregational debt, the Shrinkers have been putting congregations into debt - as if spending changes anything substantial about the congregation.
A lot of people are onto Stroh, which is German for straw.
In my classroom, this blog, I have 3,000 views each day. And I am qualified in higher education. I teach theology seven days a week.
The Martin Luther College faculty members are almost completely bereft of real doctorates. Most of them have an MDiv from Mequon (not accredited) or maybe a master's degree from a real school. Larry Olson has a DMin from Fuller Seminary, which is equal to a master's degree. Sorry, Lair - you are no doctor.
I saw some questionable schools listed, the kind that give insta-doctorates for very little effort. Anyone who sends a kid there to be brainwashed in last century's fad - Church Growth - by professors intent on instilling the company's culture, not a real education.
Preparing kids to run diaper changing academies is the latest, desperation move by the school. If only enough students borrow enough money to keep the school afloat.

Tell us about WELS failing for the last 37 years, with all your Church Growth histrionics, Elon.
Tell us about closing Latte Church, which was pumped - or pimped - by FIC magazine, Elton. You were a consultant and it was too much work for you.
