Talk:Millard Fuller

message: This article is heavily sugarcoated in favor of its subject. I don't know anything about Millard Fuller, but it's obvious from the language used to describe him that there is a definite intent to create a positive impression. Surely this guy has done a lot of good, in my opinion, but this reads like a brochure. As an example, here is one of the paragraphs as I changed it:
In January of 2005, Millard and Linda Fuller were fired from the organization they founded and nurtured were involved with for 29 years. Rather than dwelling on the end of a career, Fuller immediately began planning for the next phase of his life's work and in April he and Linda and a group of like-minded partners founded The Fuller Center for Housing. This new organization provides a vehicle for Fuller to continue striving toward the his goal of eliminating poverty housing. This ministry has gotten off to such a positive start that it is clearly another inspired venture. The Fuller Center will raise money for housing efforts around the world worldwide, and provide a base from which Fuller can continue his remarkable work in for motivating donors and volunteers to join him in his quest to make decent shelter available to all of God's people its cause.
And why were they fired, exactly? I don't know enough about this person to overhaul the whole article, but I can tell that someone needs to. Apparently the greater mass of the article was written by one person, and it's full of phrasing particular to the type of religious organizations Fuller has founded, i.e. "all of God's people," "Christ's teachings" (instead of something like "Christian philosophy"), "soul-searching," "acting in faith," and so on. What's wrong with this kind of phrasing is that it's essentially meaningless to non-Christians--it's inside lingo invested with the religious sentiment of its believers. So, a lot of the descriptions here need to be reworded, and someone who knows about this guy should help balance out the bio. --Aratuk 07:26, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

message: Regardless of how devout (or not) Mr. Fuller or his sponsors might have been,phrases such as "Jordan espoused an expression of Christianity which motivated him and the Fullers to seek ways to express God's love to their poorer neighbors" is highly offensive to non-evangelicals, reeks with noblesse oblige,  and is §highly inappropriate in a Wikipedia submission. It, or perhaps the entire article, should be deleted if the author is incapable of sounding so thoroughly ideological.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by MengZheLi (talk • contribs) 22:05, 29 September 2020 (UTC)
