Talk:New Covenant Ministries International

552:: these comments were deleted (or "amended" as one editor has put it) from this Talk section and I am reposting them to highlight a major concern that has been expressed (although those comments were also deleted) and which I am now reaffirming about shepherding/excessive control. All that I am writing is backed up by personal involvement as a person who attended and taught in an NCMI church. In fact, I attended an NCMI Church for over 4 years and had the chance to sit under the ministry of a number of NCMI Apostolic/Prophetic team members. There were some exceptions, but there often tended to be an 'elitist spirit' that manifested itself in belittling other expressions of the Body of Christ, and encouraging members to essentially cut all previous ties they may have had with different churches and/or ministries. Basically, the message was "we are doing Church Biblically, and everyone else who deviates from our model and understanding are simply wrong/unBiblical". Most of the members of the Church I attended actually were converted to Christ in other Churches/movements and now the leadership was teaching them to dissociate with the very people who God used to bring them into His Kingdom. In the name of being "Apostolic", what they were doing was actually the antithesis of true Apostolic ministry. The Apostle Paul refused to build on another man's foundation, and therefore wouldn't 'sheep steal'. Most in our Church represented 'transfer growth' (coming from other Churches), not true Apostolic Church growth (conversions). 1870:

included at all... In articles specifically relating to a minority viewpoint, such views may receive more attention and space. However, these pages should still make appropriate reference to the majority viewpoint wherever relevant and must not represent content strictly from the perspective of the minority view." But, as the editor who added the quote noted himself and as my research has confirmed, there is no majority viewpoint on the opinions in quotes from Mr Tull - nothing has been written about this kind of opinion by anyone in any published reliable source. WP:DUE makes it clear that "To give undue weight to the view of a significant minority, or to include that of a tiny minority, might be misleading as to the shape of the dispute." "Keep in mind that, in determining proper weight, we consider a viewpoint's prevalence in reliable sources, not its prevalence among Knowledge (XXG) editors or the general public. If you can prove a theory that few or none currently believe, Knowledge (XXG) is not the place to present such a proof. Once it has been presented and discussed in reliable sources, it may be appropriately included." Again, the views presented in the quotation regarding in question regarding NCMI are so minority that they have not been discussed in any reliable sources, so there can be no balance whatsoever presented on the NCMI site.

that I work with who relates to the NCMI team. I am a full time Pastor of a local church. I receive no remuneration of any kind for any ministry I do outside my own church from any church (NCMI or otherwise)or from any group (NCMI or otherwise). I and the people of the church I lead pay out of our own pockets for all the ministry we do outside of our church. This enables us to serve any group of people of any size, 10 people to 1000, without ever being influenced by gain of any kind. This no expectation and removal of receiving of any personal benefits from groups we work with enables us to go into small groups in remote places, 1st, 2nd or 3rd world, to serve and give to them expecting nothing in return. The reason why I and the people of the church I lead pay all of our own expenses is so that we can serve and help very small struggling groups or church plants all over the world who could never be able to afford to bring someone in to help them. it is our conviction that any church or any group anywhere in the world should never be hindered from receiving help because they can't afford it. Almost all of the NCMI leaders I know from all over the world operate on this same principle. So let's put this financial COI allegation to rest. I have none.

509:

to being accused I have no problem with a critics section, as I personally support, as does NCMI people having freedom to express their concerns. I would just state that when someone is making direct allegations (only supported by blog media and the web page created by Morcomm) I would ask and suggest they take those allegations to the churches directly and if relevant the appropriate authorities. To make sexual abuse allegations and name churches with the only reference being a blog, I believe is high unethical and could even be defamation! I would also state that although Morcomm says he has had contact with 20 - 40 people with concerns, I have personally had contact with 1000's of people, within and leading churches from around the world who believe in and support NCMI. I'm not in any sense stating that NCMI as a team is perfect, or that the churches who relate to this team are perfect, we're not! As NCMI is a translocal team our commitment is to work with churches as they invite us and can only do that in the areas of the church where that is welcomed. NCMI is not a denomination so we don't have control over what churches may choose to do, we can only give input as they ask.

3297:" and can't find anywhere in that source where it says "a team of about 100 itinerant church leaders". Did I miss it somewhere in the source? Or was this amount found in some other source? If there is a reliable source for that figure it would be best to post it. If there is no reliable source it would be best to remove it. It is true that there is no way to verify the actual number of NCMI team members because these names are not published, therefore no reliable source. However I have the current actual list and there are about 250 couples in just the African team alone. Then there is a general international team that has over about 200 couples on it. This does not include the team members in individual nations like Malawi, for instance, which has close to 200 team members or many other countries that have large numbers of relating churches. As an aside, all team members are itinerant. The team is a trans-local team and one of the requirements of being on the team is being able to travel to other churches. My thoughts are if an accurate number cannot be found in a current reliable source it is better to leave it out. 556:

meetings in the city - like prayer meetings and home Bible studies that weren't officially 'under' the oversight of the local NCMI Elders. People were told that these groups weren't "properly covered" implying that it could be/would be dangerous to attend such meetings. If it was limited to this one Church, I could write off my concern as an isolated case that wasn't representative of the larger group. However, I have seen the same tendencies in 3 other surrounding countries, most recently where a group from another NCMI Church was told they couldn't attend a Christian meeting in the home of some NCMI Church attenders because there would be guests there who the leadership "didn't know". Do they not trust their members to use their own discernment? Inviting some Christians to your house for fellowship and to share some testimonies about what God is doing doesn't need 'Eldership approval'. This begins to approach one of the serious problems that developed in the original Shepherding Movement in the 70's. The "sheep" weren't allowed to make their own decisions.

3185:), self-published sources are generally to be avoided. I am particularly concerned about the following quote used in the "Criticism of leadership model" subsection, where Chris Wienand writes on his blog, "the recent years saw us preoccupied with an ecclesiology that was 'over realized'.... We preached 'model', 'pattern' passionately. But our God is gracious, kind and infinitely generous. He walked us back... to the gospel we had so sadly sent to the bookends of our convictions. After 25 years of pastoral ministry I had to admit to a wonderful community that I had erred." I do not believe this quote belongs in this article at all. It is not clear from my reading of Wienand's blog that he is criticizing the leadership model of NCMI as much as he is making a personal confession of his own need to revisit his priorities. I don't know what Wienand has said elsewhere in regards to his feelings about NCMI's leadership model, but the cited blog post is not explicit enough to establish him as a critic of NCMI. 3157:. A somewhat related issue I've come across is the mention of a fact without any further information. For example, the subsection "International expansion (1990–2004)" has the following sentence: "Manley wrote that, in 2001, of the eight original signatories to New Covenant Ministries, only three remained in the movement, with only Dudley Daniel and Rigby Wallace at the forefront." This is interesting, but then the topic completely changes to an identification of the unofficial headquarters of the movement. What is supposed to be the point in including Manley's observation in this article? We should not be leaving hints or suggestions to the reader. Does Manley know why only 3 of the original 8 remain? Did the other 5 leave because they were disgruntled with the direction of the movement? Were they kicked out? Are they dead? Did they repudiate the movement as a cult? We don't know, but now the reader is left wondering if something sinister was behind this fact. 1757:"A former NCMI pastor calls NCMI "fiercely patriarchal". He writes that "subservience of women is practiced" and that "members are driven to exhaustion to prove their godliness and 'leadership potential'". He expresses his opinion that NCMI churches do not welcome disagreement nor "questioning of the system"." Bulleted list item A former NCMI pastor wrote a brief account of his experiences for Cult Information and Family Support (CIFS), an Australian anti-cult group. The anonymous pastor wrote, "I gave almost a quarter of a century of my life to NCMI's 'vision and values' and have not one friend left to speak of.... The leaders are generally all uneducated, and know of little else except the manuals and 'NCMI speak'." CIFS notes in their disclaimer that "an account from one person must be read as that" and they encourage "readers to research widely before forming an opinion." 2328:

of the churches, leaders and individuals the NCMI team works with because there is no NCMI church membership. Churches cannot join NCMI because NCMI is not churches, it is a team of leaders. The Wiki NCMI article as it is written makes a significant emphasis of the departures and critical statements of an extremely small minority of people. In the last 8 years since this small minority of leaders left NCMI to join other teams or pursue other interests over 100 people were added to the NCMI teams, the NCMI team expanded into nations and areas of the world that the NCMI team had not worked in before, hundreds of new churches were planted with the help of NCMI team members, hundreds of new churches sought the help of NCMI team, and dozens of humanitarian projects were established or completed.

2322:

from those held by the Assemblies of God (AOG), but the AOG Wiki article has not been used as a vehicle to vet these issues. You can easily find a very large number published reliable source material written by individuals or groups of all kinds that disagree with almost every aspect of the AOG’s beliefs and practices. Over the years hundreds of leaders at all levels of the AOG organization have departed from the AOG for many reasons, some in great disagreement with the AOG, others to join other denominations or groups. Some of these departures are mentioned in quality published sources that have written on these issues and events, but the AOG wiki article is not used as a vehicle to air any of these departures or the personal opinions or issues that precipitated their departures.

3104:

organization? Or does this mean that NCMI incorporates Baptist doctrine (if so, which ones does it incorporate and which ones does it not?) and Pentecostal doctrine (same question?) and "Apostolic" doctrine (same question?)? Our aim should be to provide clarity not confusion. Which brings me to another issue. If we have to add a note which says we have no idea what "Apostolic" means in NCMI's context, we probably shouldn't even mention it. If the editors here can't explain the meaning of this phrase, we should probably just not use it at all. We can amend the sentence to simply say the following: "In their statement of faith, NCMI affirms biblical inspiration; the Trinity; the humanity, divinity and resurrection of Jesus Christ; and substitutionary atonement."

2348:"Defamation—also calumny, vilification, and traducement—is the communication of a false statement that harms the reputation of an individual, business, product, group, government, religion, or nation. Most jurisdictions allow legal action to deter various kinds of defamation and retaliate against groundless criticism. It is usually regarded as irrational unprovoked criticism which has little or no factual basis and can be compared to hate speech, which is can also be taken to encompass discrimination against a particular organisation, individual, nation, corporation or other political, social, cultural or commercial entity which has often but not always been entrenched in the practitioner by old prejudices and xenophobia." 2946:

injustice and defensiveness, not just regarding what I see on the NCMI page, but personally. You reminded me to remember that Sigeng, is first a human being having intrinsic worth who should be treated with honor and respect, in spite of differences of viewpoint and opinion. Strange, I am sitting at my computer about to finish the message I am about to bring to my congregation tomorrow. The title is, "Why Unity Matters: Living in God's Heart". You probably never thought that you would be God's messenger to me today. I will try hard to remember the lesson you reminded me of that I should have never forgotten. "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you"

2243:

so many errors and problems with the NCMI article that I think it either needs a complete revamp or it should be removed from Knowledge (XXG). In the state it is in it does not come close to representing the high quality or accuracy that Knowledge (XXG) strives for, nor does it meet the high standard of the content guidelines and principles and it is largely inaccurate regarding NCMI. I can provide whomever with a complete list of errors and content problems that I see. I am willing to work with other editors and the Wiki administration to correct the errors and content so that this article meets the Knowledge (XXG) encyclopedia standards.

3100:. While a lot is said, many crucial terms are left undefined. For example, the very first paragraph introduces us to the term "apostolic-prophetic team," but what this term means is never defined. At the end of the article, Ephesians 4 is referenced, but we still are never told what the differences between an apostle, prophet, evangelist, and teacher are supposed to be. We are never told how members of the apostolic-prophetic team are chosen. Some of this can be fixed by reorganizing the article. The current outline is not very logical or intuitive. In some cases, information covered at the beginning of the article is rehashed at the end. 1136:“According to Siaki (nd:58) in the year 2000 there were 200 churches across South Africa relating to the NCMI team. The following countries have churches relating to the NCMI team: Arabian Gulf, Australia, Botswana, Brazil, Canada, D.R. Congo, Denmark, Dubai, Egypt, Ethiopia, Germany, Ghana, Holland, India, Indonesia, Ivory Coast, Jordan, Kenya, Kuwait, Lesotho, Liberia, Madagascar, Malawi, Mexico, Mongolia, Mozambique, Namibia, New Zealand, Nigeria, Philippines, Senegal, Singapore, South Africa, South East Asia, Swaziland, Tanzania, Uganda, Ukraine, United Kingdom, USA, Zambia, Zanzibar and Zimbabwe.” 1579:

them. I cared enough about the quality of this page to go through the process of becoming an editor. Assuming good faith, I would think that your desire is to improve the accuracy and quality of this page. I would also think that, in view of your desire to make this page the best that it can be, one of your first responses would be to seek to know why I believe that the cases in point are problematic and not in keeping with the purposes of encyclopedic goals of Knowledge (XXG), rather than just seeking to invalidate my voice in these matters and send me off to edit some other page.

529:

the full picture. The fact is, Critics exist, and the mention should be made. The objection that I had to your edits was that you were answering questions that had not been presented namely that churches do not think about their effects on the established church community within a city/town before planting a church there. I do not agree that NCMI takes over, at the detriment of other churches at that was NEVER brought up by me! I might be the author of the blog that is referenced, but I am willing to work with you here to create a article that is not biased.

564:

controlling than the Shepherding Movement of the 70's. Whereas I haven't seen the kinds of extreme things I heard about that happened in the Shepherding Movement of the 70's, I have definitely seen a controlling spirit in the NCMI Churches I am most familiar with, and I pray that wherever these tendencies are manifesting themselves in this movement, that they would heed the warning of this recognized Prophetic man to ensure they avoid being a part of the "false" and become part of the "true" Apostolic that will emerge in the coming days.

970:“To date I have not seen any external source that lists thousands of churches to corroborate that claim, unless there are thousands of tiny plants all located in South Africa. Based on the current website, there are no more than 100 NCMI team members (left). A ratio of 70:1 seems quite unlikely, since most churches are able to be visited by 3-4 team members per year. Similarly attendance at the larger conferences is too small. Please add better information if available. --Sigeng (talk) 04:47, 27 October 2013 (UTC)” 560:

what you have. Many in the Apostolic Movement are not at all like this, and are encouraged strongly to go out and receive from other Churches, other moves of God. The more involved I saw people get involved in the NMCI model (at least in the Church I attended), the less likely they were to attend conferences and/or receive from other Christians outside of their NCMI Network. At best, the Scriptures teach us that "we know IN PART". God designed the Church this way so that we would need others in the Body of Christ.

2839:, as you just stated above, it to be so and, as you said, "users need to be warned". I can refute everyone of these exceptional claims and show that they are either false, misleading, or taken out of context and not qualified properly, and therefore present NCMI in a false light, including the other Anderson "jet-set" quote, but I shouldn't have to. You should be following the Wiki Policies and guidelines and not setting this article up as a place to further your own personal beliefs and vendetta. 2217:"He expresses his opinion that NCMI churches do not welcome disagreement nor "questioning of the system" "A former NCMI pastor wrote a brief account of his experiences for Cult Information and Family Support (CIFS), an Australian anti-cult group. The anonymous pastor wrote, "I gave almost a quarter of a century of my life to NCMI's 'vision and values' and have not one friend left to speak of.... The leaders are generally all uneducated, and know of little else except the manuals and 'NCMI speak'" 3114:"Apostolic" specifically refers to South African denominations that use the word "apostolic" in their church or denomination name. The usage is similar to how "Baptist" is used to identify a group of denominations. It appears that they are basically part of Pentecostalism, although many have a different history and some theological or practical differences. Apostolics don't seem to self-identify as Pentecostals. Hence this needs some explanation for people outside the South African context. 2502:, and also South African and Pentecostal, and you'll see controversy about the founder and records of their blatant early racism. Departures of key people are part of an organization's history and worth noting, as in the article. A good article should present all developments even the ones that an organization finds unflattering. It would be far better to see these departures woven into a history section on recent developments in NCMI, but I don't know of any sources to write that with. 1283:

website. We can check the "way back machine" and i'm guessing that there were closer to 500 churches that were listed. Imaginary or unknown churches just can't be counted because it's supposed to be factual. I come to wikipedia to find out facts and I was surprised to see 7000 churches mentioned. I am happy to get onto the way back machine and count how many churches said that they related to ncmi if that would help. Can we link to the way back machine?

2835:. Knowing that this is what these terms do you continue to advance your personal agenda to disparage NCMI. You know that there are no other sources, mainstream or otherwise, that discuss NCMI's alleged "patriarchy" or "Hierarchical control" "undemocratic" which is what makes these views, even from RS's, minority views from a tiny minority and violations of the WP:WEIGHT, WP:BALANCE, and yet you continue to argue for their inclusion. Why? Because 2512:

for that. If you think the available sources aren't well used, then point to some specific examples or other statements that should be quoted. If you think something's out of context, then show us how the wider context changes the meaning. If no sources accurately present NCMI as it is now, then NCMI could address that problem, perhaps by attracting the interest of independent journalists or academics to document their recent developments. In brief:

272: 251: 843:

by letting groups join easily; but I also find his criticism unsatisfactory. (Manley p. 87 - "I have observed how easy it was for a group to join who did not hold the values of NCMI... only the lead elder was related to". Interesting, but who is this group? Who is the lead elder? Which NCMI team members were involved? How were the group's values dissonant with NCMI? When did this happen?) That argues against using Manley for the explanation.

2056: 1651: 1050:“Up until about 1996 the ‘Apostolic team’ numbered 13 men and their wives. By the end of the year 2005 this team had grown to over 280 people, which consists mainly of husband and wife teams. In more recent years young single people, as young as 22 years of age, have been invited on to the team because they have a recognised ministry. Again it is important to point out that this team is in no way an executive body. (Black 2006 p.137) 1517:

influence on that church. My personal opinion of NCMI is nuanced and it evolves over time; finding new sources of information from time to time has that effect. So I edit the article because I know something about it but I'm not close to it either. My 'connection' then is really a stale connection to a NCMI relating church rather than NCMI itself; I do not think a reasonable person would classify this indirect connection as a COI. -

1079:

world. 2) All of the above information about other NCMI teams working outside of South Africa was in the Black source, and all of it was within the sections you cited (p. 143) (p’s 137-140). You have cited Black over 10 times from pages 125 – 143. I assume you read all these pages. They provide significant information regarding how there could be the large number of churches outside South Africa that Manley quotes Daniels on.

282: 2920:"this is wrong and why", and specific proposed edits to this talk page, preferably in fairly short 'topical' sections, and have seperate discussions... this will make it easier to follow for anyone joining the conversation, for one thing. "General" complaints don't really accomplish anything, to be honest.. though you can still edit 'collaboratively' on a talk page, and if you get stuck on a particular point, then ask for a 2792:

information, or even pointing how, for example, the article misconstrues a source when quoting too little of it. Or perhaps point to a section of the source that is underrepresented, and where it could go. That kind of contribution is really helpful, and actionable. Otherwise, it looks like you're just arguing about what the sources say and trying to whitewash, which given your NCMI connection, engenders resistance.

459: 383: 356: 1605:

judge's voice (for example, the judge could speak as a witness in that trial). It does not mean that the judge has done wrong (assuming the COI is disclosed). It means that the judge cannot preside, because evidence is that human beings in general cannot be impartial in COI situations. Even if a specific judge were mentally capable of detaching from their personal connections, they would not be permitted to.

805:

pertinent information. Manley is just a thesis, and far from perfect, but he's pretty much the best independent source available. It's reasonable that he reported Daniel correctly, but I fault him for failing to make a few phone calls and so he could learn more about these churches in Africa that were the vast majority of NCMI - a breakdown of non-South African countries would have been quite welcome.

220: 2924:. It's really best if a person can come in and address a specific point, without 'having' to get involved in the entire drama of the article. (also, the person typically has the talk page watchlisted after that). If the viewpoints about a 'specific change or set of changes' are well defined (without getting sidetracked), then you are more likely to get helpful input that can resolve that point. 393: 3069:. In my opinion, we can make a much better written article with tighter prose in fewer words. For example, there is a subsection entitled "Church planting" that revolves around one quote that used a lot of biblical references. That is fine for speaking in a church context, but do we really need to use this quote in an encyclopedia? Can't we just say, "NCMI believes that the 2004:'editor behavior' as issues created by the fact that you and one other person seem to be simply beating your heads against each other in a content dispute, in regard to an unassessed article that nobody is paying attention to.... the answer there, again, is to seek outside input through a dispute resolution method, not to complain about that they disagree with you. 1850:

self-published source. Add to that, contrary to WP:EXCEPTIONAl guidlines, the statements made by the individual quoted are "against an interest they had previously defended" (the individual admits that "I gave almost a quarter of a century of my life to NCMI's 'vision and values'" and now they are speaking "against an interest they had previously defended".

2465:

wealth and power of NCMI (and other apostolic networks in South Africa) is concentrated with the minority whites, and used for their benefit, while yes, a majority of churches and their members are black. In South Africa, this white-black economic gap is typical; he is saying what one would expect is indeed the case, so it's not an exceptional claim. And

1337:. I too am a fan of espresso, especially pulling shots myself, and also self-expression. I haven't had much time for this article in recent months since discussions died down in Sept or so, but glad to see someone taking new interest. Certainly there is work to be done to bring the article into agreement with a major overhaul of their official website. 3293:) 06:58, 16 July 2015 (UTC)hi Signeg, hope you had a good winter. I was just reading the NCMI page and noticed the figures given in paragraph 1: "active in about 100 countries. NCMI defines itself as a team of about 100 itinerant church leaders who speak at conferences and work with affiliated local churches." I checked the source you referenced " 1506:

politician or board member may state their COI on a decision, give a brief opinion, and recuse themselves from further participation or voting. COIs are blindspots; even when disclosed, they impair one's ability to exercise good judgment about the topic. You can contribute, but to do so ethically is to do so from the sidelines.

with a specific interest in South African Pentecostalism and he wrote about NCMI in a peer reviewed academic journal. He is also the only source who is almost certainly independent. Manley is a M.Div thesis on NCMI, best source for early history, some inconsistencies, probably independent, some critique mixed with praise.

2698:

If these exceptional, surprising or apparently important claims not covered by multiple mainstream sources, and if, Generally, the views of tiny minorities should not be included at all, except perhaps in an article about those specific views, then isn't the Wiki policy that, quotes like these should

As far as what NCMI says about itself, it is important for you to know that almost all of the content you see on the page was not put on the page by anyone in NCMI, it was put in the page by Sigeng. Other than the one very small edit I did in August 2014 no one from NCMI has touched the article page

2623:

This should be fairly obvious if you read this article, but it is comprised mainly of a) what NCMI says about itself, and b) criticism. There is no coverage the opinions of other religions commentators, either neutral or in support... it does not provide a balanced view of the subject. I removed some

2454:

Let's talk about Andersen. Andersen is quite critical of NCMI. He calls it "patriarchal" and this is not appreciated, but he appears to be correct. Having 50% women in leadership does not say anything about whether NCMI is patriarchal. It's not representation, but male power, that defines patriarchy,

2435:

The quotations you complained about come from Manley, Andersen, the anonymous pastor who I will leave out for now. Manley and Andersen are pretty much the only independent sources (Black appears to have had an NCMI connection). Andersen is a top notch source - professor emeritus of religious studies,

2415:

Your central claim above is that the article overemphasizes minority opinions. Let's see the majority then. For the benefit of other editors, produce some other independent reliable sources so we can establish where this "majority consensus" lies. I don't expect you'll be producing any, because there

I do not believe that Knowledge (XXG) article about NCMI is the place to publicly engage critics, especially extreme minority views.

Regarding my personal interests in the article - really not that interesting. I said I have and had no affiliation with NCMI. I was involved with an NCMI relating church a while back. Moved to a new place, leaving that church on good terms, still in touch with some people. NCMI I think was a positive

The actual source of the number of churches was a verbal account given by Dudley Daniel the leader of NCMI in 2001 at an NCMI conference. Not to say that the "over 7000 churches" is accurate or inaccurate, but Manley is not the actual source of the information. I wonder if the best that can be said

3161:

That's from Manley p. 74. Manley's writing is disorganized here, but he does connect their departure to NCMI's leadership structure, while noting internal efforts to change the structure. Perhaps we could add: "Manley speculated that NCMI's leadership structure, which he characterized as "narrow and

3119:

So Manley is saying that in addition to its church plants, NCMI's original churches came from a mix of Baptist, Pentecostal, and Apostolic backgrounds, and cooperate under common theology while ignoring the less important differences. Although NCMI argues it is not a denomination, it basically takes

2956:

I agree, although I'd say the template message "article does not include all significant viewpoints" applies only if we can identify a body of reliable sources that express these viewpoints. At the moment, we know of other related sources (Naidoo, Chetty, William K Kay) who may have new information,

2860:

Your comment that begins with "Well, Revent" appears to be a partial retraction of this, so I will overlook the allegations therein with respect to my beliefs and motives. All I will say is that an implication of your discussion with Revent below is that it is necessary to present specific arguments

2756:

Those claims aren't exceptional either. (Interesting though, as they are comments on what "NCMI is like" from outside perspectives, rather than its own claims about.) As discussed, it's not exceptional to say that a patriarchal society produced a patriarchal religious movement. Nor it is exceptional

2511:

Honestly, the only recent material I can find about NCMI are 1) people leaving and 2) various critics on blogs talking about spiritual and other abuses. If you have other sources, by all means, bring them forward. But if there aren't other sources, or no sources are favorable, maybe there's a reason

2464:

Regarding the predominance of white South Africans, also from Andersen, the article text actually softens Andersen's statement and perhaps we need to expand it a bit to get the point across. He'd concur with your statistics, which support his point rather than contradict it. His point (p.88) is that

Part of the Wiki content policy regarding NPOV is WP:BALANCE and WP:BALASPS. Here is the problem with the emphasis of minority events and the minority opinions currently written into the NCMI article. The views and events are so minority that there literally is no published reliable source material

I am a member of the NCMI International team and have disclosed the exact nature of my relationship to the NCMI team and my total commitment to seek the goals and purposes of Knowledge (XXG) first above all on my user page. Though I have read over the Wiki content guidelines and policies I am a new

In view of the fact that another editor (Sigeng) and I have filled pages and gone round and round discussing whether the CIFS should be included in the NCMI article and have not been able to come to a consensus, and in view of the defamatory nature of the quotes in question, I would request the help

1570:

I "wish to edit responsibly." I agree with your point that my association with NCMI COULD potentially put me in a me in a COI. And I agree with WP:COI that "any changes you would like to propose that might be seen as non-neutral should be suggested on the relevant talk page or noticeboard." As such,

1119:

But equally important, you should also note that Manley is not the one making the statement, he is quoting an unknown NCMI source. If Manley is not the source of the information, and it fact someone in NCMI who said it how can you say in your note, “this statement is contradicted by both Manley and

842:

While I think Manley heard the number of churches correctly, his explanation seems lazy and dismissive. Saying that most of them are Africa and many of them are loosely affiliated. On this point Manley didn't do enough research. He is critical of NCMI here, implying that they wanted to boost numbers

532:

Also, as a point of major concern, the introduction is totally un-referenced. We need to sort that out. I will take it that you are a expert on the subject of NCMI, and that what you say is true, but it is not backed up by any reference. I will search and see if I can find any, but a earlier attempt

To bring into perspective how minority the departures and issues mentioned in the NCMI article are, the total number of Regional, National and International NCMI team members is close to 1000 men and women from over 40 nationalities working into close to 80 nations. We do not have an accurate count

Sigeng response is "I would argue, to the contrary, that removing the quotation may upset neutrality since it could be construed as presenting a whitewashed image of NCMI that ignores detractors. If you are aware of a formal response from NCMI regarding REDACTED's allegations, I would also be quite

1898:

In discussing the issue of the CIFS quote, Sigeng, the editor who added the quote said, "NCMI would do well to publicly engage REDACTED's account rather than trying to expunge it" - perhaps here I was unclear, but I was temporarily taking off my Wikipedian hat and offering an aside. It seemed to me

When the WP:CLAIM guideline is considered I am not sure what your objective is in writing the following notation, “ “NCMI (2012, p. 5) claims churches in 80 countries by 2001, but this statement is contradicted by both Manley and Black”. When the Wiki guideline specifically says not use words like

I have discussed the information on the NCMI.net page with two of the leaders on the NCMI international team who are working on the NCMI.net content. They have informed me that the website is quite incomplete and cannot be used as a reliable source at this time. They have a projected goal of 2016

What precipitated my interest in being involved in editing the NCMI page was seeing a number of items on the NCMI page that are either inaccurate or improper wording, the specific quote(s) in question are just one example. I didn't know that they also violate the wiki content policies until I read

1453:

Your saying "I have no conflict of interest because you are committed to following Wiki Policies and Guidelines completely above anything else", respectfully, betrays a misunderstanding of COI. As a member of the NCMI team, you have a COI as far as this article is concerned. That is a statement of

1141:

All of this brings me to one last question, which I cannot figure out. I am trying to understand why you put information in the NCMI Wiki page from an NCMI source, or Manley, or Black and then present it as or as contradictory yourself, and then put in other citations from the same sources that

1017:

What is not included in the NCMI Web site and what your reasoning does not factor in regarding the number of churches sited by Manley (7000) is : i) the size of the complete NCMI International team, ii) the NCMI teams that travel into the various nations, iii) and the NCMI national teams that live

of that statement is, "In 2001 Dudley Daniel, the leader of NCMI at that time, stated that NCMI had grown to over 7000 churches." However, to verify the accuracy of that quote one would have to go back and find the original audio of that public address in 2001 to see what Mr. Daniel actually said.

I understand what were you are coming from believe it or not, but in order for the article to be fully informative, there has to be facts presented. I do not wish the Critic section to be accusing. I accuse NCMI in my personal capacity, and I will continue to do so, but this article needs to paint

I see your point that NCMI (2012) claimed "pastors, churches and individuals". However, while this would explain the apparent contradiction, I hesitate to accept it. When NCMI sends an individual to a country, are they not usually sending an individual who is also expected to become a pastor of a

To date I have not seen any external source that lists thousands of churches to corroborate that claim, unless there are thousands of tiny plants all located in South Africa. Based on the current website, there are no more than 100 NCMI team members (left). A ratio of 70:1 seems quite unlikely,

Based on the quotes in question not meeting the critera and guidelines of WP:SOURCES, WP:QS, WP:EXCEPTIONAL, WP:BALANCE, WP:BALASPS the above quotes should not be included in the NCMI Wiki article.

The point here is two things: Does the quote and the referenced source meet the WP:RS criteria. And does the quote represent the range of opinions, pro and con, from reliable independent sources.

Andersen is not a fringe opinion engaging in defamation. He's a top notch source, making the claims he's qualified to make, and his claims are supported by other evidence and lines of reasoning.
