     There have been two phone calls
    to this writer from an attorney and member of the LCMS Board of Directors
    about the source of the 
    January
    12, 2004
    
    Reclaim News Release.
    
     
    
     
     
    The release was titled, "Kieschnick Approves Minority Publishing Dissent Against BOD
    Policy"
    
     
    
     
     
    The BOD wants to know who leaked
    the communication from the dissident Board minority to President Kieschnick
    and Kieschnick’s reply and approval of their action.
    
     
    
     
     
    The Board minority broke Board
    Policy by publishing their objection to recent Board decisions and are thus
    subject to removal from the Board.  They
    wrote: “Also, if you deem it helpful, feel free to share our statement
    with members of the CCM as well as with the church so that those whom we
    serve as elected officers might know the reasons for our dissent.”
    
     
    
     
     
    Kieschnick also broke Board
    policy and should also be removed from the Board when he responded to Betty
    Duda, Jean Garton, Oscar Hanson, and Edwin Trapp Jr., “I will give careful
    consideration to an appropriate time and manner in which to share your
    letter in a more public way with the Synod.”
    
     
    
     
     
    The Attorney wants to know where
    the information came from, when it was received and from whom it was
    received.
    
     
    
     
     
    The Attorney was told that if
    President Kieschnick doesn’t have to answer questions about the Trinity,
    I’m not going to answer questions for the Board of Directors.
    
     
    
     
     
    President Kieschnick made the
    Eighth Commandment his special priority during his inauguration speech at
    the 2001 LCMS Convention.
    
     
    
     
     
    How does Kieschnick endorse
    charges against the LCMS’s public doctrine of the Trinity?
    
     
    
     
     
    I have publicly denounced Dr.
    Waldo Werning’s false doctrine of the Trinity published in his book
    “Health and Healing For the LCMS” which was given to every delegate at
    the 2001 LCMS Convention.  President
    Kieschnick accepted Doctor Werning’s charges against me to the Praesidum
    because I call Werning’s doctrine “lies about God”. 
    It appears the Eighth Commandment doesn’t apply to God.
    
    
     
    The
    Praesdium proceeded to “adjudicate” my case. 
    President Kieschnick wrote to me that this “was no idle threat.” 
    I wrote back to Kieschnick and the Preasidium that it was “a cheap
    idle threat.”  After a year,
    the Praesidium voted: "not
    to proceed with the case of Werning v. Cascione, thereby terminating the
    Praesidium's responsibility for this case, in accord with By-Law
    2.27b."
    
     
     
    Now, the BOD wants me to answer
    questions about my sources.  First,
    let Kieschnick answer questions about the Trinity, which he refuses to
    answer.
    
     
    
     
     
    Jesus Christ and the Apostles
    answered questions about God: why won’t Kieschnick?
    
     
    
     
     
    The Golden Calf of Synodical
    By-Laws, regulations, and CCM rulings have superseded the LCMS President’s
    need to tell the truth about God.
    
     
    
     
     
    Could this have anything to do
    with the South Wisconsin District President, the Texas District President,
    and “Jesus First” endorsing Werning’s false doctrine of the Trinity?
    
     
    
     
     
    If the BOD wants me to answer
    questions about its Board Policy then the BOD will have to get Kieschnick to
    answer questions about God.
    
     
    
     
     
    Perhaps, what Jesus Christ
    needed when Caiaphas questioned him was some Synodical Bylaws.
