So if Benke had prayed in an ecumenical group that consisted of say Baptists, Methodists, Presbyterians, ie: Christian denominations then Schulz wouldn't have accused Benke of "bending the knee to Baal". Am I reading this right?

Or if perhaps Benke had prayed something that spoke to the exclusivity of salvation alone through Christ then Schulz wouldn't have accused him. Perhaps that would have been considered appropriate?

Dr. Schulz did not accuse Rev. Benke. He ruled on charges brought by others. Dr. Schulz did find Rev. Benke guilty of unionism as well as syncretism since there were prayers by Methodists, Reform, Episcopalians, Orthodox, and Roman Catholics. This charge was upheld because a false impression of unity of doctrine with false teachers was given by his prayer.
