II have not jumped the fence

vention Tin May at Kansas
city will determine whether !
can continue my mission or
not"
Discussing his experience the
past year since his book became
a focal point Of sharp debate
between opposing groups. the
author said II have learned
that time and the sense Of
urgency are vital TO tn e
church's witness or else the
church is irrelevant in a COM
pick society"
One place where the church
has gone wrong. he contended,
is in the "diabolical nature OF
sheer intellectual doctrine.
There is something wrong with
a person who so believes In
doctrine that he is bitter with
those who do not believe INTEL
lectually with him. This is not
Christian faith"
Another deplorable tendency
is the secularization OF the
church In our time. the speaker
asserted.
1T has given birth 10 the
idea that anything that works
Is divinely blessed. IL Is the
principle Of expediency which
always denies anything that
leads 10 the disruption OF the
