Another point I missed

Chancellor states TFI leadership has "completely repented" their doctrinally-based sins against children. That statement implies (from a BBC perspective) that Zerby, Peter & Company have become "new men and women in Christ". I am concerned that Chancellor spends so much time talking about the maltreatment of children in a high demand organization--a social phenomena that he knows very little about--and virtually no time talking about the theological implications of "repentence" ala The Family's antinomian doctrines and internal policy statements, e.g., the Maria Monologues.

Chancellor is HIGHLY qualified to publish statements on these sorts of topics, yet he doesn't. I think he is ethically compromised at this point--he's "gone native" and doesn't want to offend his friends by talking about what he really knows as a theologian. If he does this, TFI won't be telling the media Chancellor speak for them on the issue of past child abuse.

The part of me that's Christian wants to seriously get in this brother's face with a challenge to the high calling to which he professes.
