Strategic Change for the LCMS

Chris Rosebrough from Extreme Theology has a chilling post that all confessional Lutherans need to read and heed. Rosebrough has an MBA from Pepperdine University and the emphasis of his graduate work was Change Management.

In his latest post called Changing the LCMS, Rosebrough claims that President Kieschnick is following the Change Management Process developed by Harvard Business Review's John Kotter.  Rosebrough then shows us where he thinks the LCMS is in the process.

The most chilling aspect to Rosebrough's analysis is that he claims that the VERY NEXT STEP in the process will involve President Kieschnick proposing sweeping structural changes that would grant unprecedented powers to the president. According to Rosebrough, if Kieschnick's structural changes are implemented then there will be no way to 'save the LCMS'.

Hmmm....something like chucking the constitution and writing a new one???? I believe there is something like that on the schedule, isn't there?

It is already here. Does anyone recall when after the Yankee Stadium affair some Pastors tried to do something about the SP's lack in bring correction to David Benkhe. When the convention rolled around Kieshnicked succeeded in making himself immune to anyone except for the convention delegates. That gives him freedom from accountability for four years in a row unless the delegated call a special session. If I have that wrong or not fully explained will someone help me out. Thanks.
