First post ever....
As you can see from the title, I am one of those rare birds among members of the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod (WELS): a left winger. In addition to observations and opinions of a political nature (as they randomly occur to me), I decided to create this blog to vent about two things: (1) the WELS-affiliated organization called Christian Life Resources (CLR) and (2) the so-called Christian Right in general. Whether anyone ever sees any of this remains to be seen, but I thought it might actually be possible that there are other WELS members who share my opinions and concerns and this might let others know that they are not alone.
Specifically, CLR--at least its website--has become inappropriately political. Future posts will go into this in more depth.
The Christian Right (with which CLR has also become closely aligned) has appropriated the word "Christian" and by implication tries to invalidate the Christianity of people like me. One "proves" one's Christianity by one's political beliefs. This turns Christian (or at least Lutheran) belief on its head. More on this later, too.
