This does not excuse them, it merely explains the behavior. I think that it is important that people are not deceived. Were it not for that wikipedia article I would have known nothing of the marriage by faith process, nothing about how their missionary practice plays out, nothing of their Confusionistic tendencies.

I find it unsurprising. UBF seems as a group to be optimistic, as Chesterton says- this means they want to white wash the world.

That’s interesting info Forests, and good to know.

What do you think about Sarah Barry and other Chicago leaders working with me to remove all negative aspects of the original Wikipedia article? We were all adults at that time.

I have discovered the likely person who changed this. Her name is Ine Suh. She was 15 at the time of the edit. I suspect this at worst makes her misguided and at best good intentioned.

And here are some more odd comments from Inesuh1012:

“Nomoskedasticity, I made changes to the page of University Bible Fellowship because there were many unbiased facts about it. I wanted to improve the page, for University Bible Fellowship has changed throughout the years. The Controversy content was intolerant and prejudiced. I do not think that removing the Controversy content is considered vandalism; I was trying to improve the encyclopedia with a good-faith effort. I hope you understand. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Inesuh1012 (talk • contribs) 05:02, 25 March 2012 (UTC)”

So…there were “many unbiased facts”. If the facts were unbiased, why remove them? Removing biased opinions, now that would improve the article. But how would removing unbiased facts improve anything? Oh, that would improve UBF’s image… got it.

“intolerant and prejudiced”? But Inesuh1012’s actions are so tolerant of unbiased facts and not prejudiced about UBF at all..

And UBF has changed? Well come visit me and I’ll explain how much “change” has occurred the past 50 years…
