I'm guessing your church was either dangerously low on funds or someone was doing something very unprofessional behind the scenes. My dad is an LCMS pastor and I've had quite a bit of experience with asshats screwing with the church's budget. One thing I know for sure: whatever the problem was, it was local as in at your parish. The LCMS is generally pretty decentralized when it comes to handing finances.
Even though I'm not a believer, I'm sorry you had to go through that. I'm glad you're happier now.
