		<description>I suppose that it is high time for me to point out that I am employed by The Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod, and my opinions have not been vetted by, and do not necessarily represent, those of my employer.  (I work in their IT department.)

I'll let the above comment stand unless my job ends up on the line.  This is why I pointed people to Pastor Lehmann's blog for this information.  Do check out Aaron's blog listed above too because that is a one-stop shop for every link and every detail I have seen so far.</description>

		<description>------------------------


Here is all sorts of contact information to tell people what you think about this, let them know how important Issues, Etc. was to us, and ask why the show was cancelled:

Rev. David L. Strand
Executive Director
Board for Communication
(314) 996-1200
(314) 822-0000
david.strand@lcms.org

Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod
1333 S. Kirkwood Road
St. Louis, MO 63122-7295
(888) 843-5267
(314) 965-9000
FAX: (314) 996-1016
infocenter@lcms.org

KFUO Radio Station
(314) 725-0099
(314) 725-3030‎
(314) 721-2969

Rev. Dr. Gerald Kieschnick
Synod President
(314) 996-1402
(314) 842-7110
president@lcms.org

LC-MS Board of Directors
(314) 996-1350


------------------------


Meanwhile, an online petition has been started up about Issues, Etc. being ended.  I don't know how much good it will do, but it should be able to do some.  it certainly can't hurt to put your name down.  Here's the link:
http://www.petitiononline.com/Issues/petition.html

For anyone who comes across this and has Facebook, a lot of discussion it seems is going on at the "Bring back Issues ETC!!!" Facebook group.
http://facebook.com/group.php?gid=11679316089


------------------------


Finally, financial help for the Schwarz and Wilken families can be sent to the following address. Just put in the memo line that it’s for the “Schwartz/Wilken Fund”.  The Schwarzes especially need the help and Rev. Jack Schwarz's wife Beth has been recently diagnosed with small fiber neuropathy and they need to go to Mayo Clinic to try figuring out what can be done.

"Schwartz/Wilken Fund"
Saint Paul Lutheran Church
P.O. Box 247
Hamel, IL 62046

All help and all prayers are appreciated.


------------------------


I will be continuing to post information and resources relating to the cancellation of Issues, Etc. and firing of Rev. Wilken and Mr. Schwarz.  So, if you could please help me draw people to the resource of my blog, I would really appreciate it.
