Default Re: How Can This Forum Improve?

I can buy "immensely talented leader." He had just about everything he needed to take people wherever he wanted. And it was despite the initial turn-off of trying to understand his heavily accented English

As for minister, it depends on whether it is important that his ministry be useful to anyone. And after much consideration, I have concluded that the only truly positive portions of his ministry were available elsewhere. So he could only be, as you said, a minister in a sea of ministers.

Never the minister. The things for which he was granted MOTA status are, for me, at best questionable. Which leaves me wondering why I would choose to wade through the questionable to discover what I could get off the shelf at Lifeway. Given time and scrutiny, we might find something somewhat unique of value.

But I think the most valuable thing of the LRC was the people and just getting out of the then-deadness of Christianity. Something that much of Christianity would do for itself just a little while later. Lee would say that it was just them learning from him. But that was wishful thinking. Most never heard of him. Only a few heard of Nee and they didn't really know much about him.
