Default Re: Coming Back to the Vision at the Beginning of the Lord's Recovery

Igzy,

Your recent stance on the very term "Lord's recovery," which I agree with, has suddenly gotten me thinking about the use of the acronym "LRC" or "Lord's Recovery Church" to refer to them. We didn't like "LC" of "Local Church" because that is a generic term that should be applied to all churches since they are generally all, by fact of geography, at least reasonably local to the people who can or could meet there. Now, the one identifying term that was somewhat unique to them is unacceptable because it is somewhat reinforcing their errant considerations that they are the ones who the Lord is working in and through and others are not.

(BTW. In the Dallas area there is a church that is titled as a "recovery church." I cannot remember its precise name, but it is a full fledged church that has a major outreach to those in need of recovery with respect to alcohol, drugs, overeating, etc.)

We didn't like "Leeites" as being too derogatory. They won't like "CoLSM" (Church of the Living Stream Ministry) (or alternately LSMC — LSM church), especially for those who still hold to the general teachings but have disassociated from the LSM.

So where does that leave us?
