Too bad David Canfield has decided not to participate in this discussion.

Canfield represents the "idealistic" segment of the LC's, who protest LSM's rigid and skewed understanding of "the ground," and yet embraces WN's original thoughts about church oneness and division. I think he represents many "old-timers," especially in the GLA, whose heart actually intended to reach out to all Christians, tearing down the dividing walls.
