Perhaps it might have been better if I had put it this way: Witness Lee was so sold on "oneness" that he over-imposed it on all his theology, including the Trinity. But once he over-imposed it on the Trinity, an essential clue of the importance of diversity was removed from the minds of his followers. God was one much more than three in Lee's world, so it seemed to follow that the Church should be one much more than many.
