Dear Lightbulb, Laura and any friend who wants to know more about reformers,
I respect your rights of speech, press and association. God knows the truth and reformers' hearts. So we reformers are not afraid to meet any one to answer about our motives and deeds. I am not saying that we will not make unintentional mistakes. We will, but we will not commit institutional wrongdoings. What reformers are upto is to reform institutional, structural wrongs in UBF. And to reform them is good for every one, including people inside UBF. I do not feel it necessary to defend myself or reformers because this reform task is additional burden and cross for us which we, if possible, wanted to avoid taking. I study full time ina seminary, work nearly full time, teach the Bible to American frinds, am about to start internship i an American Presbytarian church, praach to not a small crowd occasinally, have the cross and privilege to manage a family and serving ina worship committe of a seminary,... The only reason why I have joined reform is because i could not look the other way while so many people are suffering for wrong reasons. I am one your brothers, that is all. Malice toward none. My suffeirng is nothing, compared to that of those who are inside UBF and the true timbers of UBF. "We are the people". True UBF is the sincere, quiet and honest people inside UBF. I rspect them. Still reform is needed because individual ethincs and spirituality are not the same as public ethic and spirituality. Thanks for listening. Please call me for talk. Or pleasse come to Northpark seminary's Chapel on March 1st at 9:35 AM. I am scheduled to preach. We pray for all.
