The United States District Court for the Western District of Texas has dismissed the LCMS's request to have its dispute with CTX heard in a Federal Court.
Well, next stop is the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, assuming a settlement isn't reached. I'm not familiar with this area of law (and am also not a lawyer, so take what I'm saying with a grain of salt), so no idea how it'll shake out there. If University wins there, the Supreme Court hears vanishingly few cases, so it'll most likely go to the state courts at that point to get fought out on the merits, if the University loses back to the district court.
They're wanting to steal the campus from the LCMS! How is this "walking the walk"? They're wanting to embrace higher criticism and liberation theology. How is this "walking the walk"?
They do not walk the walk. The Rev. they have are extremely judgemental and the whole campus is full of staff that don’t walk by the faith of the lord.
I know and yet people think the LCMS is the bad guy here because we want CTX to be faithful to the Scripture and the Lutheran confessions. This may just be a "hand them over to Satan so they learn repentance" thing.
What in anyone's estimation does this mean in terms of where the case is headed?

Thanks - maybe somehow some way there's a settlement stuck in there to be made.
God Bless CTX. They’re walking the walk. Keep President Kirk in your prayers.
