My perspective -- What Constance thinks

Reading this, you might want to jump back to an earlier article (April 29, 2007) by me, "Story in Pictures." To read the information first published and then buried by World Business Academy, you will need to click on each picture individually to blow it up to full page. It will be well worth the reading! You might also want to read information copied from a 1988 newsletter. I wrote it in 1988, but the players, to the best of my present knowledge, have never repented! The researchers abridging my material added valuable work of their own. They documented the Paul N. Temple connection!

Dear
XXXXX,

We are writing to invite you to join us for the gathering we are hosting at Gold Lake on October 24-27, entitled “Bridging Through Christ.” The conference will be held at Gold Lake Ranch, an executive retreat conference center, educational foundation, and community initiative located in the mountains outside Boulder, Colorado.

We plan to meet in dialogue and prayer, with our daily roles and titles, to form deep personal bonds that will last beyond this weekend. We hope to come out of this meeting with a clearer sense of direction and set a course for further contact and dialogue. The meeting will be structured so that it can change according to the needs and interests of the group. We have asked two close friends, Barbara Marx Hubbard and Doug Coe to serve as co-hosts for this event, as well as Robin’s parents, Paul and Diane Temple. All of them are deeply dedicated and have each, in their own way, become powerful catalysts for bringing people around the globe together in the Spirit of Christ. More about them is enclosed. We are planning to limit the participants to about 30 lay people in order to create the opportunity for deeper communication and sharing.

We are eagerly looking forward to being with you at Gold Lake in October and getting to know you in person. Enclosed is the logistics sheet and registration form which we would appreciate you filling out and returning it [sic] as soon as
possible.

Warmly,
Robin and Logan Kline

As a new book has recently appeared on the market -- a NavPress (the Navigators) release from another Fellowship participant, Michael Timmis, who may or may not be innocent of the obvious New Age agenda of Coe and Paul N. Temple, it appears that the Fellowship Foundation is attempting to strengthen its public relations. I tried recently to reach Timmis' Detroit law office with no success. I suspect that as he in his book indicates he was discipled by Douglas Coe, he has been cautioned to stay strictly away from Yours Truly! Timmis is now heading the group that Charles (Chuck) Colson founded: Prison Fellowship. Here's hoping that the two of them are honestly motivated -- I would hate to think of people with Watergate level skills training prisoners for service in a New Age army! Hopefully, that is not the case. Interestingly, Paul N. Temple often loaned Chuck Colson and wife Patti his Spanish villa when they needed a place to retreat.
Now, more than 20 years since this was held, internet information is available that shows the breadth and depth of the funding laid out by Paul N. Temple. It is difficult to say whether the money prompted the theological compromise and/or nobody wanted to oppose the New Age meaningfully there because they didn't want to uninspire Paul Temple's generosity. I am attaching a picture of one of the more colorful recipients of this largesse: "All Seasons Chalice Church." Its neo-pagan, earth-worshipping character could hardly be more obvious!
What do these groups have in common? Global Family, Fellowship Foundation d/b/a International Foundation, Campus Crusade, All Seasons Chalice Church, Young Life, Institute of Noetic Sciences, Steiner schools, Unitarian churches?
