How would you like to see the theological equivalent of the WWF (that’s World Wrestling Federation) at The Feast in 2006?
Peperkorn! Petersen! Preus! Borghardt! Cwirla! Zill! Keseman! Ask the Pastor - The Cage Match
Stand up, smack down, no crib notes, no holds barred, shoot from the hip theological debate. It’ll make a synodical convention look like a Marriage Encounter weekend. You ask the questions, they come up with the answers (or at least try to look good faking it). Questions like:
Is vocation Law or Gospel? Is prayer sacrament or sacrifice? Is there reciprocity in the genus majestaticum? Did my pastor just lose his pectoral cross? If not, why did he drop to his knees behind the altar? Why does Cwirla dye only his hair and not his beard? Why can Peperkorn grow a beard but not Borghardt?
Just imagine the possibilities!
I need your help. Our beloved Bloghardt, who is in charge of speakers at The Feast, is a little apprehensive about things getting out of hand. Here’s what you need to do to push him over the edge. Just clip out this coupon and send it to Bloghardt at bloghardt@gmail.com. It’s as easy as that.
Dear Pr. Bloghardt:
Yes - I want “Ask the Pastor Cage Match” at The Feast 2006 in Colorado Springs!

You're on, buddy. Judging by the little old blog of yours over yonder, you'll make a fine referee. You'll wanna be careful, though. They usually throw the referee over the ropes first.

Haha... except every now and then another "wrestler" is a guest ref... and he sometimes throws a few punches himself.
I can't imagine happening... we've got a schedule already and things are pretty much locked down. But, you're the first one that is being tossed, Fouts.

Now we're talking! Bring on the Golden Mouth! Here's someone who can mix it up with the best of 'em. (Sorry for "borrowing" your Ask the Pastor. I was short on creativity at the time. No public property in the church, I say. "They had all things in common.")

Pastor Borghardt would win anytime, anywhere! Did I see WWF? It's now the WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment). The WWF is a wrestling company somewhere in Europe. This was a big news story a few years back.

I managed to find a transcript of the "Da Bears" skit we were talking about yesterday at Portillo's. It's pretty funny. I slightly misremembered how it went, but I did get the overall feel of it correct. Also, in light of the possible cage match, the skit's discussion of "God's role" in making the Bears might be useful in grappling with the topic of vocation!

Bill Swerski: Alright, alright! Now, let me shift gears here for a moment. What is God's role in this? Obviously, he's rooting for Da Bears.
Pat Arnold: Otherwise, he wouldn't have put 'em in Chicago.
Carl Wollarski: That's right.
Bill Swerski: That's right. Da question is: Now, did God create Da Bears, and make them superior to all teams? Or is he simply a huge fan, and Ditka made them superior to all other teams?
