The alpb site has been up again since yesterday, and the sorry thread (sorry with some exceptions, anyway, like those who say that they agree with our theology and point of view) goes on and on and on and on. Finally, the good moderator Peter Speckard (an LCMS pastor and young theologian) has come up with a moderate, fair, and sensible solution to the endless and nasty debate between Don Hansen and Charles Austin.

Here’s what the ELCA revisionist operative and former New World Order Times reporter Charles Austin is saying about FreeRepublic now:

......This thread started when someone brought in that pig-sty of commentary elsewhere on line, and - as I predicted - we all got splattered by its mud, some more than others, and some seem to enjoy rolling in it.....

Consider the source!!!!

Oh well, in a few days I will be attending a retreat led by an Orthodox abbess, in anticipation of the Nativity Fast. It’s just what is needed to wash off all the mud and garbage that the ELCA has thrown at us this past year, and begin preparing for Christ’s Nativity.

Best wishes on your retreat!

I am a bit late to the party (I have been taking a partial break from FR lately). Just what did we on FR do to make them so mad?

I posted early on that train-wreck fans would appreciate the alpb forum. Their response thread, which has indeed continued on, with more sanctimonious recrimination and grubby bickering than we usually even have here(!) illustrates my point explicitly. Ten argumentative pages revealing a church in the process of hollowing itself out.

The ELCA has a lot of worms in their apple.
