Kaung and Lee Lines in America - A History

Indiana · 05-04-2018, 02:08 PM

The message on the church that Ron Kangas and Ed Marks combined to share has been removed from the list of audios available from the New York conference Nov 2017.

The article on the Kaung and Lee lines shows the principle of division at its earliest point in America, which involves Kaung and Lee directly, both having come to the US to represent the vision and recovery of the New Testament church life, including the application of the Scriptural principle of receiving believers according to Christ alone.

What took place there between brothers Lee and Kaung was seemingly a small thing, but was not. In my notes of the NY message, Ron Kangas said, "there is one Body and keeping the oneness of the spirit is to keep the oneness of the Body. If we don't receive all who God receives, frankly, we are being sectarian and divisive. And if so, we may talk, write, and preach, but we are not living the Body life.

So this is serious, as a practical reality we need to have the assurance in the Lord's presence that all who have been redeemed and received by God we also receive."

Some may say it was up to Stephen Kaung to submit to Brother Lee. But Brother Kaung was content to have the reality of the Spirit in the uniting bond of peace with all the members, and under the Head of the Body, Christ. This testimony "for the local church" was enough when Lee, Kaung, and W. Nee were practicing the church life in China according to the Scriptural ground of oneness in the Shanghai Christian Assembly.

But things would change when Witness Lee moved to Taiwan.
