It would be interesting to see how he could spin that one.

Roam's church is mentioned in the book, at least where he made dancing in the spirit a practice policy in the church and backed down when C.H. Yadon intervened. He also mentions Roam bringing in Winfred Toole from California without the consent of the church board and that it was disastrous, cutting the church size in half. Lewis Davies took the realm after and had times where questioning was welcomed and called into question UPC teaching on water & Spirit baptisms and didn't stress outward holiness standards. He was investigated by the District Board and later refused to appear before the Board. Soon after the church disaffiliated from the UPC. Davies later went to appear before the board but they changed the meeting place without notice. At this time Toole was the District Super.
If you bothered to read the book, you would know what was written about that church.
Would you care to be more specific as to why you feel as you do about Fudge? Did he attempt to interview you? Or were you not involved in such a manner as to be asked for one?
