The principle set out in it, of not separating from other believers because of things nonessential to the faith, is something that guides me even now. And yes, so very sad it wasn't practiced in the LC!!!

* the other big take-away from the LC was the open meeting concept - encouraging all to share Christ with one another. (alas, this practice has been subverted in the LC now with the hyper focus on all things WL)

Personally, and I have spoken to this on several occasions, I think it is positive and quite healthy to have these "takeaways" from the LC experience. Do not "all things work together for good?" One Christian counselor Gary Smalley called this practice, "treasure hunting." Should we not learn from the experiences of Bible characters such as Joseph, the son of Jacob.

To hold on to these precious experiences is actually to believe in a loving Savior. Let's give Him all the glory.
