The Babylonian Captivity Redux

Here's a link to a critique I wrote in response to the report and recommendations of the Theological Education Advisory Council (TEAC) of the ELCA. It was published in the Summer 2016 issue of Lutheran Forum and takes TEAC to task for issuing a document that veers from our theological tradition and doesn't solve the urgent crisis in ministry before the church.

This writing style is distinctly different from what I do in my preaching. The article is a polemic and stands in a strong Lutheran tradition of theological arguments that goes back to Luther himself.
