My impression from the book was that Fisher was a product of the PCI ethos of the Northwest. I will have to check the book again see what it specifically says about the teachings of the elder Rev. Fisher specifically. Having known him personally would make you a far greater authority on the man than I would be, I would never presume to correct you. I made the comment's regarding Fisher because it was indicated that Fudge or some folks here who had posted were looking at Fisher's career with rose colored glasses--that was not accurate.
I don't have the book with me, but I got the impression that C.H. Yadon's brother C.M. was in the Water/Spirit camp. Fudge describes some interesting things that occurred while C.M. Yadon's son was teaching at CBC. It is only conjecture on my part, but it strikes me as plausible that some of those with PCI beliefs discarded some of their beliefs when they discovered which way the wind was blowing within the Organization. The pull to assimilate and obey authority can be pretty strong even for preachers.
