Stuart Olyott gives another point of view
The three articles on 'Hyper-separatism' by Jonathan Stephen, Brian Edwards and John Rosser have caused me a great deal of distress. I know of many others who have had the same reaction. I believe that anyone who follows what my three friends have recommended will be making a very big mistake indeed.
I am not a 'hyper-separatist', as this article will make plain. I have lived through the debates on first, second and third degree separation, and 'guilt by association', and have never fully understood them.
So what distresses me about the three articles? It is that they do not tie up with Scripture. In particular, they do not tie up with Galatians chapters 1 and 2.
