CORRESPONDENCE

Alan Morrison (Diakrisis International) RE Spiritual Counterfeits Project

 

The following is an exchange of e-mail between a researcher for Watch Unto Prayer and Alan Morrison regarding his recommendation of Spiritual Counterfeits Project and friendship with SCP president, Tal Brooke.  Dana Hoard’s final message inquired as to whether Alan has signed the Lausanne Covenant, since he recommends SCP but nowhere on the Diakrisis website does he warn his readers about the Lausanne Movement with which SCP is well-connected.  Neither a reply to the penetrating question about the Lausanne Covenant nor further correspondence was received from Morrison.

Dear Alan,

 

Spiritual Counterfeits is linked to Lausanne, John Stott, Christianity Today, Regent College, J.I. Packer and James Houston for a start.

 

Tal Brook is a close friend of Lindsay Brown of InterVarsity Christian Fellowship* which affirms the Lausanne Covenant and George Verwer who chairs LCWE's Mission Mobilization Track.

 

Please let me know if this isn't a concern for you too.

 

Dana Hoard

Where is the evidence for the statements in your first paragraph?

 

I await it.

 

Yrs,

 

Alan

Alan,

 

The evidence is readily available to you.

 

SPC originated as a Campus Crusade [Bill Bright] project in the late 1960's and it has had considerable backing by many of the Christian ecumenical organizations which are party to the Lausanne Consultations [Billy Graham/ John Stott].

 

Crossover SCP/Christianity Today staff over the years include Vernon Grounds, William Pannell and Earl Palmer of the ecumenical Regent College.

 

J. I. Packer has given his endorsement to SCP [found in SCP brochures] and he personally addressed the [very small] SCP staff at a retreat in the 1980s.  Packer signed ECT I, co-authored ECT II, is Director of Anglican Studies at Regent College and is the Exec. Editor of Christianity Today [Billy Graham]. 

 

Tal's friend Lindsay Brown co-directs IFES/Int'l Fellowship of Evangelical Students with John Stott, who is the framer of the Lausanne Covenant and strategist for the World Evangelical Fellowship/ Evangelical Alliance––the shadow government to Lausanne. 

 

I can find nothing on Diakrisis which warns your readers about the snare of Lausanne; while at the same time you recommend the Lausanne-connected Spiritual Counterfeits as a resource. Many apologetic ministries have signed on to the Lausanne Covenant and are requiring others to do the same. Are you a Lausanne-covenanted member?

 

Of course it is my hope and prayer that you are not and you will work to expose Lausanne for what it is.

 

II Timothy 2: 7 Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things.

 

Dana Hoard
