To all the ministry of Jesus Christ around the world: Greetings in Jesus' name! I have just read the following two documents, which represent the slightly edited copies of my comments from two of our widescale meetings on the subject of tithing. The first was a meeting conducted in my own office with perhaps a dozen or so present, and the second was a plenary session with seventy or more in attendance. Obviously, the manner is somewhat rambling, and there is certain redundancy and repetition between the two - but I have chosen to leave the material in just as it was. I beg your indulgence in reading it if you run across a few slightly awkward sections, knowing that we all sound very different when we are orally attempting to explain a point of view as opposed to writing it on the typewriter. I hope the PRINCIPLES of our approach to doctrine, and especially to the doctrine of tithing, come clear.
