Aldo B. Martin Presents: The Reclamation
Welcome to The Reclamation Podcast. Although we primarily speak about our experiences with the International Church of Christ (ICOC and the ICC), we attempt to give a voice to those that have experienced and overcome any religious cult or high control organization.
Aldo B. Martin Presents: The Reclamation
The London Working Group Minutes (pt II)
Long before the Henry Kriete Letter was delivered to the hands of ICOC members around the globe, the brothers and sisters of the London Church of Christ set the table. The regular disciples of that church began to speak up about the injustices that they’ve experienced. It seems that they did so because they wanted to preserve and protect the church that they loved from continuing their harmful practices. They held open forums and created the working groups. Today, we are going to hear from three men who were present at one of these meetings. The three of them sat down to have a conversation and recollected the tone and outcome of that meeting. The original meeting took place on February 1, 2003. This episode is being released on February 1, 2023. Twenty years to the day.
Why is this important? Simply put, notion of such a meeting and it's subsequent minutes demonstrate that the issues that the ICOC has had and continues to have, according to the people that have recently left, are not new. The issues have been spoken about before. The issues have been written about before. As former members attempt to make sense of what they were a part of, it is important to take a look back, in order to move forward.
