It is not a cohesive teaching manual, rather a collection of lectures. Clearly there was little or no collaboration in the lectures. I suspect such cohesion will come about in the next 2 to 5 years or so. That is roughly what the Catholic church did: formed councils and lectures until they “got it right” and formed their official positions.

In fact, one lecture describes this process, explaining that UBF is a “progressive” ministry, constantly working to find the “best ways”. Really, this means, they will pick up new teaching and refine their ways as each wave of leaders leave. I wonder if any leaders will remain when they finally figure out what they want to do and why they are doing it?

This is because the spirit and ministry of UBF is closely connected to Lee.”

Isn’t this contradicting their claim in the last lecture?

“If the spirit that worked in the UBF ministry for the past 50 years came from human efforts or ideas, we don’t need to continue in them. … the spirit that worked in the UBF ministry for the past 50 years didn’t come from the ideas of Dr. Samuel Lee …”

I wished they would make up their minds and not weasel around what they really think all the time.
