Might it have helped the weaker brothers if they had listed the organizers? Isn't it a little naive in this post-everything world to ask us all to regard PPT as if it dropped out of the sky? PPT is evidently a political document intended to shape the discussion about the Federal Vision and other controversial issues. It isn't a doctrinal work. It's an attempt to leverage not only discussion but ecclesiastical action. In this context, a little more openess might have helped the discussion. As it is, PPT appears to be just another hand grenade on the field of battle, albeit covered in velvet.
