READER'S EXCHANGE

 

Pat wants you to know that he really appreciates your expression of love and encouragement, and he sends you and his brothers and sisters in the Church of Christ his love. He has a special place in his heart for you all.  —Janet Fix, Pat Boone's secretary, 9255 Sunset Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90069

Like my son, Bill Watkins, Sweet Home, Or., and our Dayton friends, the Dennis Bairds, we grab our copy from the mail and devour it immediately while everything else waits. God is blessing your efforts in ways you'll probably never realize this side of heaven. To Him be the glory—Right?  —Hal and Betty Watkins, Dayton, WA. 

(Right!  —Ed.) 

Your down home, informal tone is appealing to me, and I believe it finds emotional response in numbers of people who I hope will continue in the faith. — Harold Sims, Tokyo, Japan 

It is so nice to learn that I am not the only one that thinks "different." Keep up the good work. — Rheba Brady, Montgomery, AL. 

I see more and more brethren shed-ding their party garments and accepting the freedom that Jesus offers. The cry for freedom is beginning to reverberate throughout Churches of Christ. This is not wishful thinking. I'm convinced of it. The grassroots are tiring of the burden of party dictates and are longing for the rest of the Savior. — John Trotter, University of Georgia 

I began subscribing to your journal earlier this year, and just recently purchased the bound volume for 1975-76. This reading has made me more aware of the fact that the positions and attitudes of "churches of Christ" today are in many instances a far cry from our restoration heritage. It whets my appetite to dig into our restoration literature. — Dan Robers, Locust Grove, OK. 

We are planning a new fellowship of Christians that will be knit together in love. Believing in the essential unity of Christ's body and that division is a horrid evil, we welcome the fellowship of all faithful immersed believers who follow Christ. We plan to imitate the early church as closely as possible. We are anxious to receive inquiries from interested people. — Phillip Kight, 200 S. Glenn Dr., 44-F, Camarillo, CA 93010.
