Thank you for the opportunity of replying to Stuart Olyott's response to our three articles, and we are grateful for his gracious comments.

The first concerns Stuart's pastoral models. He suggests that if a man is truly faithful in exposing error and demanding action he will soon be hounded from his denomination. This is just not true.

We know men in just this position.
