It's a meeting to gather suggestions and find a way to network men together who have begun to lose faith in the direction the Apostolic movement as a whole is going.
And, for what it's worth, I've talked to many who are involved or going to this meeting and have yet to hear any viciousness in their voices. Just a little sadness for the most part.
Thus, what most have surmised, heard gossiped about or interjected their own fabrications about... simply isn't true. |
I think many have missed the heart of this threads beginning post! Steadfast did not deny that a new fellowship of some sort will be formed.
Rather he addressed the spirit and attitude in which these men are working. In fact if you look at the bolded areas he addresses the intentions of the coordinators. It is their desire to find a way to network brethren together yet not make them have to leave the UPCI/or other organization.
