- Abstract
- This thesis contends that the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod (WELS) is in crisis. This thesis further contends that because God is faithful and his Word works today as in the past, revival in the WELS is possible. The solution to spiritual lethargy has not changed from biblical times, nor will it ever change. WELS leaders, pastors, and members must get into the scriptures, repent, and pray. Some in the WELS have wrongly narrowed the definition of faithfulness to the phrase 'just preach the gospel.' This thesis contends that the WELS must expand the functional definition of faithfulness to a more biblical practice.
