Steel, my own impression of the "oneness" of the LC is that it's the oneness of a museum display case. Everything neat and proper, and completely lifeless. Anyone with initiative or originality is a threat to leadership.

Regarding the ministry, is that we were told to get the good building material - young, naive and vulnerable college students. No matter that the Lord had said to seek those who could not repay you in this age. And when I began to hear the voice of my Shepherd in scripture, I was told, "No, those are the vain words of fallen men". See my thread on the Psalms.

Eventually the choice became stark for me: the LC or the Shepherd. The ministry of the interpreted word, or scripture.
