I kid you not. I can see Samuel Liu in some of the photos at the link posted below (btw I wonder if he plays any part in the churchnews.info site???) http://churchnews.info/blog/2016/03/...4%9F%E6%8B%85/
What interests me the most is to think that certain 'regional' coworkers (like Samuel Liu), are allowed to run wild and are purposely promoting themselves. Why is this allowed to happen in the realm of the LC? Because the alternative, such as to address what Indiana has written has more severe implications for the blendeds. For now, it's easier for them to let Samuel do what he wants. You can tell by reading the link that the churches associated with him might come across as a bit peculiar (no surprise there). |
The phrase that caught my attention:
"
the burden for increase, a normal rate of growth, the need for planning and statistics, and the pattern of the leading ones."
I'm sure the burden has been there since 1974. As for statistics, it's a topic I find easily manipulated. Plus it is a reminder of the New Way.
Pattern of the leading ones?
The pattern has already been established in Matthew 23.
