Thanks Marie!

Well, I wrote a short letter to two elders that I felt I can trust and explained my concerns, pointing out the use of poor translations and the Arminian character of the book. Both said that it is indeed serious concerns and that it should be discussed further. However, one feels that the process of 40 days of purpose should not stop with the main reason being that in some other churches in our denomination the small group thing was successfully introduced in this way. But that's in my opinion not enough reason to do the same. If you have to use something like the PDL to get small groups established then there is something wrong!!

The other elder said that he haven't read the book. The positive thing is that he paged through a book by RW that his wife bought for herself and was not very much impressed by what he saw. This elder took my concerns seriously it seems and he said that he will see to it that I can present these concerns to a larger group of elders.

I remember that somewhere I came across a transcript of an interview with RW in which he actually said that there is truth in every religion but I can't find it again. If someone knows where I can find this transcript, I shall appreciate to have that info.
