I would like to see our District President loose the worldly label and return to Bishop. Also why has the Convention not been informed of all the ordained clergy forced to resign and improperly removed from their ' Call' because of (not compatible with the church). Let's take as our example ,the Prophets , the Apostle's and our Lord Himself not being compatible with Preaching the Law and Gospel in the church MILITANT. I haven't seen or heard of any scriptural evidence of any such removal of Christs' Called Servants. We have endured rigid interview processes. We were qualified by the Seminary, Synod,Bishops and called by the church to Preach, Teach and administer the Sacraments properly. There are a lot of brother clergy like myself who have been terminated from our call by our church because we are 'Zealous'for the Lord His Word the BoC and uphold our ordination vows to the Almighty God who Called us out of our cozy prosperous professional and skilled livelyhoods. To surrender our lives to the highest and Divine Calling on this earth. Luther calls us beggers.' Than the Holy Spirit speaking through the writer of Hebrews adds the Responsibility of being 'Leaders, who have to give an account." (Heb13:17). I haven't even brought up the family or financial turmoil that it has caused all of us that have been improperly removed from our calls and the roster after the cutoff time to check in with the ( DPs). Oh yes! than try every three years after you've been dropped from the roster only to go through the process of reinstatement! Only to be told that you weren't accepted and no reason given for us to appeal! The Apostle Peter Denied knowing the Lord ran from his persecutors among many other examples of being a sinful man. Yet the Lord forgave him and reinstated Peter. I could go on about all the mental and physical anguish that the wrongfully terminated Pastors have endured. However there are churches in the Synod that would love to have a Pastor shepherd them and not be told that there are no Ordained Clergy available for Calls. I myself would love to shepherd a small congregation in this synod.
