Letter of 3 September 1957 |
|
Our beloved Guardian has instructed me to write you on
his behalf about…. He has not only received a most
unhappy and pitiful letter from him but also letters from
some of the German friends who are distressed and unhappy
over the severe measures your assembly has taken as regards
his teaching and freedom of movement.

He feels that you should deal with more kindness and
308
leniency in this matter; as far as he understands the
accusations against him are because of certain emotional
relationships he has had. In such matters wisdom and
patience are required. It is only in cases of flagrant
immorality that the Assembly must step in and warn the
believer in question that they must behave in a way worthy
of the Faith. He doubts if … has conducted himself in such a
way. In any case he wishes you to do all you can to help this
unfortunate situation and prevent it from becoming a
serious issue….
