Sir,

I believe that putting aside the doctrines and church rules, the only yard stick one could measure his/her belief and faith in the christian religion is the bible. I am sure the Elders of SSEC have done that and so have passed on their judgement to Maeliau and followers. But the SSEC elders are as human as we are and are bound to make mistake. How many small churches have broken of from the main churches in the Solomon Islands and able to grow under God's direction. So why wouldn't everyone, (Maeliau and SSEC) just allow this group under a new name to just go on with their belief. There is no need to argue about who is right or wrong in issues as such.
