Yes it would, but image is everything. Following Witness Lee's death, I had hoped the blended brothers would bring the local churches into a ministry of reconciliation, but there was no such thought. The image who Witness Lee was became the overriding factor.
As soon as a brother or brothers became out of favor with LSM fellowship, he could not be counted on to "be one with the brothers" and could not be trusted. In my local church experience the issue of trust has far more importance than reconciling.
