"The ministry should be for the church; the church should never be for the ministry. We must be exceedingly clear concerning this principle. We must drop all wrong practices. A gifted brother should keep his hands off the local church… All gifts and gifted persons must be entirely for the local church. This is a tremendously vital matter.” (W. L., The Vision of God’s Building, pp 173-175,1964)
So, Brother Lee, Philip Lee, Benson, et al, took this wrong way, thus causing division everywhere. This “tremendously vital matter” of not pushing a ministry is not heeded in the Local Churches today; they find the ministry of Witness Lee to be “indispensable to our oneness”, and herald their sectarian position before all in their One Publication proclamation, 2005.
