It’s funny what is awful to me may be helpful to someone else.
The Salt Lake Christian Church is wrestling with the Unity Proposal. This is a church replanted by Kip. So far it is the only one I know that is even considering the plan.
Kip’s church in Toronto said that it was just talk. The folks in Kip’s church in Ireland and Chicago echoed similar sentiments. I have no word from Kyiv, but Kip himself says that “you can’t mandate unity” in his latest sermon.
So here is Salt Lake, the only one of Kip’s churches I know that is actually considering this proposal.
That must be a tough place to be. Like the All Nations Church of Christ in Georgia, these folks have tried to stay neutral in regards to Kip and the group of 84.
Don’t get me wrong, the agreement is still theologically bad. However, as God tends to bring good from bad things, something good may yet come from this for the folks in Salt Lake. The good may not necessarily be separating from Kip. The good may be examining who they are and making a statement, though I understand their wish to not be involved in the whole thing.
As my minister says often, “We live in interesting times.”
