The establishing of a universal leader became clearly evident by the writing of a letter to Witness Lee signed by 417 leaders of churches. The movement accelerated with this collective pledge and agreement in the churches to follow Witness Lee absolutely as their leader.

Brother Indiana,
I understand a difference between hierarchy and spiritual authority. I don't see a substantive difference between a hierarchy and the idea of making someone the head of a hierarchy....a matter of position in the hierarchy.
If someone appoints themselves as "head" that is not spiritual authority, is it? At least I don't understand how the two are compatible.
So is the discussion whether God's arrangement in the Body included Watchman Nee in a position of authority and where? Or is the discussion about whether Watchman Nee grabbed the reins of power in a hierarchy that men formulated?
To me, these are two different starting points.
Thanks
Drake
