READER'S EXCHANGE

 

I am optimistic about Churches of Christ. We are coming out of a long period of isolation and legalism. There is a love and openness filling us as we are filled with His Spirit.—Patrick Mead, Lancaster, Oh.

I appreciate your work more and more. You and Carl Ketcherside have had a great influence on our lives and many others that we have been able to influence. The ripple that began at Calvary goes on and on, thank God!—Lloyd and Stella Boyll, Indianapolis, In.

An institution is passing with Restoration Review. However, in one sense you and brother Carl Ketcherside “worked yourselves out of a job” since God blessed your labors to the point that many others have taken up the same cause. Hallelujah!—Edward Fudge, Houston, Tx.

I will miss Restoration Review so much. It has been such a blessing. God bless and keep you and Ouida. Enjoy each day and issue a newsletter occasionally so we can keep in touch. Thanks!—Frances Damron, Auburn, Al.

Restoration Heritage Meeting V, held in this area, was the best yet. Fourteen congregations represented: 8 acappella, 5 Independent Christian, 1 Disciple, with 51 people present. The spirit was excellent and the talks well received.—Herb Pratt, New Castle, De.

Thanks for deciding to continue with a newsletter. Your readers, too, need to taper off and this will help. I’m looking forward to Ouida’s article.—June Hauptli, Glenwood Springs, Co.

You, RR, Integrity, Carl Ketcherside, Chuck Swindoll, Max Lucado, Cecil and Lea Hook, C. S. Lewis, Brennan Manning, to name a few, have opened wide the windows upon a vista of eternal shining. There is great hope for us yet! My Lord carried His cross all at once and once for all! But praise be to Him, He allows me to carry mine one tiny splinter at a time!—Kathy Wyler, Kerrville, Tx.        

        From our computer room we let you see what we look like as we bring this glorious adventure to a close. As we count our many blessings we name this ministry as one of the greatest, and we salute each of you for being an important part of it. Lord willing, we’ll be visiting you in our newsletter, Last Time Around. But as for this journal it is a victorious farewell to a grand old friend with whom we suffered much opposition and persecution. We overcame!
