Dear Sister Maxine: You are right, but those group meetings do not necessarily mean our beloved
of the
is their higher power. I think they refer to "God" as a higher power, which they choose to call "God", but it could be anything, really. And that's why Mr. Philips chose the crabapple tree in his garden. He said he knows of nobody who actually follows the
in their groups -- they talk about their concept of what "God" might be to them. Every person seems to have a different idea. Anyway, I hope your dear Uncle Jim won't end up there, having to listen to all of their strange ideas. And just because many of those meetings take place in church basements does not mean they are going to Heaven! All Uncle Jim has to do is to put his complete trust in the living

A blessed evening to you, dear Sister
