************** Were you or are you a member of a Covenant Community? I am currently collecting audio tapes,
course outlines, teachings, photographs and any other materials to post on this site regarding Covenant Communities.
Recent Documents are in short supply due to the lack of transparency of these groups about their core teachings,
covenants and beliefs. If you have relevant materials and would be willing to share them, please contact me: John
Flaherty PO Box 664 Grand Island, Nebraska 68802. Email: flahertyjohnp@hotmail.com. Thank you. ***************

The discussion continues on the Facebook page, “Covenant Community: the Good, the Bad and the Ugly.”
(This is a PUBLIC PAGE and ALL comments are available to review WITHOUT having to join the group.)
