| Mary was kicked out of WELS for questioning Holy Mother Synod. |
Your response to "Narrow Minded's" question, "Why not KJV" for WELS is well taken when you wrote that WELS has taught loathing of KJV for decades.
It was in the 1970's when the NIV wasn't yet the "either or" translation. The early stages of the dialectic started the process to discredit the KJV in favor of any other translation of one's choice. Just so it wasn't KJV, for that had to go before a replacement could be arranged. As early as mid 1970's a WELS pastor was suspended when he defended the KJV and refused to go along with the obfuscation of a cafeteria of translations.
Pastor Richard Shekner served a congregation near Chicago, and the congregation followed him out of WELS as one of the first to do so over the issue of KJV and contemporary translations available at the time.
Mary's recent articles are here:
- Digitizing Humanity in the Pipeline, 5-24-13
- Wrong Turn on the Road to School, 3-16-13
- Have You Checked Your Private School Choice Lately? 12-5-12
- Won't Back Down, 10-15-12

GJ - Mary is another example of a thoughtful conservative, a tireless researcher who has a lot to say about modern education.
She saw WELS transition into a mainline denomination long before others noticed.
WELS is obviously the most radical of the SynCons in even trying to justify the NNIV.
