'Endless
gratitude': Concordia College New York celebrates final commencement (lcms.org)
(Glowing report that hardly told it like it is about problems that existed at
the school. Lecakes received an honorary
doctorate that was meaningless and hardly deserved. This is a great example of how bad a job the
LCMS communications department does.
Many years ago, Dave Mahsman of LCMS communications did some semblance
of two-sided journalism, but that has almost never happened in LCMS Reporter in
recent years. One can look at Baptist
Press and even United Methodist News Service (and others) that do better. The Christian Post is generally a very good
independent news outlet.)
