"No, no, it's not about the money..." but The Board of Directors is selling KFUO-FM, "Classic 99", anyway. — by GW Bynum — last modified 2009-11-19 12:48

Have you noticed that when you see the phrase "It's not about the money..." it is almost always about the money? The Board of Directors of the Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod has voted to sell KFUO-FM, otherwise known as Classic 99, for 26 million (18 million plus interest), to Joy FM, a station that broadcasts "Christian Contemporary Music" and which already has two FM frequencies in the Saint Louis area. But if it's not about the money, why sell an asset that is valuable and difficult to replace?

Lutheran Orthodoxy and Its Discontents, Part 1: Some Recent History — by GW Bynum — last modified 2009-11-19 22:56

Are these two churches passing each other as they move in opposite directions toward and away from orthodoxy and enthusiasm? <br /> <br /> Note: This article was originally written prior to the 2006 convention of the American Association of Lutheran Churches (AALC), and the 2007 Convention of the Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod (LCMS). The author is the former Academic Dean of the AALC's seminary, which is now housed at Concordia Theological Seminary, Fort Wayne. It is given here with some slight updating and revisions.

With apologies to The Lutheran Hymnal, the items here are not that good, and do not claim that level of inspiration or perfection, but they are more recent, or have become of more recent interest...
