Ladies and Gentlemen,
Don’t worry, I’m not going to fuss about Charles Stanley. But since I have you here I would like to see if you can help me.
On October 27, 2005, in Prince Georges County Maryland, John K. Jenkins is going to be hosting a Pastors Symposium featuring Charles Stanley from Atlanta. I have always had a great deal of respect for Dr. Stanley. In fact, that is why I need your help. Dr. Stanley might be completely unaware of John’s shenanigans. At least I hope that is the case.
I am composing a letter to Dr. Stanley. The text of the letter is here.
Here’s where your help comes in. I can write a letter to warn the good doctor about John. And in all probability, it will get lost in the five thousand letters a day of noise that his “In Touch” post office box receives. The harried pre-readers aren’t going to take much notice of one religious crazy whining about an obscure pastor in Maryland. But if the rest of you (all seven of you) would write a letter warning Dr. Stanley about John, we may be able to keep him from making the huge mistake of tying his name to a man who denies some of the essentials of historic Christianity.
One of the processes John has been using to build up his church (his church, not Christ’s) and himself is to tie Big Dog names to his own. That apparently was the reason he became involved in the Full Gospel Baptist Fellowship. Doing so gave him access to some of the Big Dogs like Morton and the rest. And it got his name out among them.
John is apparently doing all he can to make sure First Baptist Church of Glenarden is going to have a large enough group of members to support the $45 -50 million memorial he is building out in Kettering.
