To the Editor:

In your judgment, what new understanding, what clarification, does the NASU document bring to the BASF?

This is The key question regarding the need for and the legitimacy of any NASU­based unity effort. This question has been repeatedly asked of many UA08 com­mittee and signatory ecclesial leaders, and this enquiry is now going on three years without a response.

If there is not a single brother in the Amended UA08 community that can answer this question and show how the NASU modifies the BASF, how can they realisti­cally expect other Amended ecclesias to join them, or even understand them?

If the NASU document clarifies the BASF, surely someone can simply explain how! If the NASU does not clarify the BASF then why is the NASU document needed?

Let us simply use the BASF and invite everyone to join us on that basis alone. Such an approach to true unity is clear, consistent and honest with the Brother­hood worldwide.
