Theos-Talk Archives (November 2006 Message tt01018)

Daniel,

I am surprised to see you decided to write on the ULT today.  :)  

An important subject, no doubt.  

Yet many old differences of view between the  ULT and other parts of the movement are "side issues" today, and totally devoid of significance. 

Carlos.
