My observation to the narrative above I just read: If a christian is sincerely obervant, meaning a true believer of our Lord's instructions by applying in his/her daily life, like the specified bishop serving people for Christ's mission, he surely became fruitful. In contrast to some parralel with some of leading clergies in our days bearing the name, Lutherans only share the Holy Word by their mouth but not harmonized with their endeavor to do what the Word has told believers especially leaders should do. So that instead of gathering people to hear the Gospel they preach, their hearers' mind were blocked with the life contradictory deeds of the preachers, causing the scatterings.
