You'll see lots of 1982, 1979, and 1990, but not much in the way of 2007 or 2002.

There are many of your brothers and sisters in the LCMS that agree with you and have fought vigorously to prevent our churches from degenerating into pop Christianity. We are winning on many fronts, and Christian Pirate Radio is just one example of that.

Every time I read the post-evangelical blogs I want to scream: are Lutherans in high places reading this? How could they read this and still think CCM (offered, of course without diluting our Lutheran theological core - not possible)is the holy manna that will grow Christ's church? I don't get how poeple can't see how backward and behind this is. There is a Post-evangelical movement and we are just now deciding to vallidate the evangelical movement with offical synodical sanction. AAARGH!

Our Confessions seem to mean little to too many.

Actually, I am not sure I even care, because it is extremly hard to get unbiased info on those issues (no pun intended). I think that isolationism has been a real plague to confessional Lutheranism. Things are slowly changing in Europe, but not quickly enough, I am afraid... Anyway, the LC-MS is not the "permission-giver" it used to be in the worldwide confessional Lutheran community, and that's probably a good thing.

If you can in any way find time to listen to it, I wholeheatedly urge you to. His discussion of the church as hospice where we come to die has again left me almost speechless. What a treasure Just listened to the SOCO show and heard William Cwirla’s presentation ‘Sin- Original and Actual’

Absolutely stunning. If you can in any way find time to listen to it, I wholeheatedly urge you to.

We use a company to host our content that specializes in online radio. Our opening day, we did something that they never have experienced from anyone with our package (which is higher end) - we exceeded our maximum. We are bringing Christ centered, monergistic, grace oriented content to ears that have not heard and many ears that continually want to hear the Gospel. We are experiencing birth and growth pains right now, so be patient as we gain more programming and also iron out unforeseen technical wrinkles. If you have any suggestions or questions, please do not hesitate to contact us. God's Peace Rev. Craig Donofrio Pirate Christian Radio Manager Dear Friends,

As I posted on my own blog at one point, I was a little concerned that aspects of how the relaunch was taking place would lead the "new" IE to be more concerned with fighting internal LCMS battles, and from what I've seen so far my fears were unfounded. Must check out the podcast at some point. I’m delighted to see Issues, Etc. returning with such a positive agenda of increasing Lutheran engagement with the wider church.
