Default Re: A New Book: Regarding the Ground of Oneness in Locality

It was helpful to read David's personal testimony. Given he was only meeting with the local churches by the time the late 80's quarantines came down, has time changed his opinion of those quarantines? Or does David see the two as being completely unrelated and distinct from one another.
However one phrase David did utter is very similar to the elders and co-workers who left in the late 1980's:

"However, by the end so much of the reality of Christ had been lost, as the headship of Christ was replaced" Page 23

As we go on with Christ in our individual living, we must have the reality of Christ in our relationship with Him. However corporately when church leadership begin deferring to a particular minister, ministry, or group of brothers for headship, the reality of Christ is lost corporately.
