Is the LCMS going Seeker Sensitive?

This is my take:
Issues, Etc has been abruptly cancelled.

When a few years ago I became aware of the purpose driven fraud being perpetrated on the evangelical church at large I remember talking to an LCMS member who had just fought long and hard to have a purpose driven pastor removed from their church in California. This person said that in the process of going through all this they realized the leadership (the LCMS president in particular) was trying to push church growth on the denomination. I don't know how credible that is but if it is true, it would make more sense of why they don't want a discernment ministry being so popular.

I also noticed an ad for "Contemplate" -- a seminar for pastor and deaconness "formation" -- I wrote to express my concern that the LCMS is borrowing New Age spiritual terminology. I think there is trouble brewing in the LCMS and has been for a while. Perhaps this will alert people to the problems in leadership.
