I’m not responsible for what was written in CT. Again, I reviewed the article; I did not write it. And I stand by what I wrote as being an accurate assessment of what Jones wrote. You can disagree with my review, but I don’t see the need to attack me personally.

It would be counterproductive to continue this discussion, so I won’t be commenting any further.

I pray God’s richest blessings as you serve Him and His people.

The article I read was the account of a skeptical Christian from the Reformed tradition who went to Bethel. While giving the account of the negatives and describing some of the unbiblical practices that have been rumored to have happened there (I am not certain grave-sucking has actually been confirmed or whether this was students at BSSM who were out of control. However I welcome correction on this. If it has not been confirmed then this should have been mentioned in your review) he was overall quite positive of Bethel, which was surprising. Your review makes it seem like he couldn’t wait to get out of there and return to his home church. I took him to mean he was refreshed, renewed in his faith and had fallen deeper in love with the Church. I find your assessment of his article to be quite misleading to say the least and at most an underhanded shot at Bethel. I have personally been there multiple times (With a MTh from Bangor University Wales) and have not witnessed in word or deed anything that would be outside of the mainstream of Orthodox, historical Christianity and more importantly…the Bible!
