Dear [brethren],
I welcome the tone and the character of the front page
article in the latest ET on the Papal visit. It strikes a helpful
balance. However I am disappointed at the choice of author, especially
given brother Underwood's persistent failure to act over Carey
BC's longstanding envoy Malcolm Clegg's rampant ecumenism with
Rome, Islam and liberal groups. The abject failure to
police the FIEC's own statement on ecumenism in a flagship church,
from which its own drafters were drawn, was the final trigger for our
own fellowship's departure from the FIEC earlier this year, after many
months of pleading and
persistence to no avail.
In effect you have chosen an author who says one thing
in your column, but when it comes to the crunch not only failed to
investigate independently, but also obscured the gravity
of the apostacy involved, in the face of extensive documentation.
I fervently hope this is not a path ET intends to
follow. The details have long been public for well over a year, a website details them,
Yours sincerely in Christ,
Charles Soper
