The History of the American UBF reform movement part 3
This is a document on what happened right after the the third reform movement.
**Note: The emails on this document have been removed**
This is a letter which has been sent to the current UBF topmost leader, Sarah Barry, by the operator of this website in the name of many former UBF members by certified mail on January 28, 2003. According to the return receipt, Miss Barry received the letter on February 4, 2003. When after a month there was no answer, the letter was resent by email to Sarah Barry and the Chicago UBF webmaster and one week later once again to twelve official contact addresses given on UBF web pages with the request for forwarding. There never was any reaction to any of these letters, let alone any answer to the questions asked in the letter. This proves that Sarah Barry as a leader of UBF maintains the same arrogant and autocratic behavior as her predecessor Samuel Lee, who also was completely unaccountable and ignored any kind of critical inquiries. Even members who had given their hearts, time and money for the organization for years and decades are not even considered worthy of a short answer.

The History of the German UBF reform movement [English Translation]
Cause, course and perspective of the reform movement in UBF Germany
M. Stephan Choe (Bochum), December 2000
“And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.” (John 1:14)
We call our efforts a “reform”, indeed a “reformation” of the UBF, because we are not striving for a superficial improvement, but rather to return to the Bible and Jesus Christ correctly. That is why it has become necessary to bring the true causes of this movement into the light and to enter the right path to reform. We ask God, through His Holy Spirit, to direct and bless our further reform work on the right path and in the right direction.
I would mention two biblical words that should characterize our reform movement: truth and grace. Jesus is full of grace and truth. His truth and his grace may determine this work of reform.
