PASTOR GENERAL'S REPORT, DECEMBER 27, 1985
political reforms.
There is a potentially "fatal flaw• in that
argument.
Without U.S. support, says Assistant Defense Secretary
Armitage, the Philippine Army, already •flailing about in an agony of
shortages,• will be unable to fight communism and make needed reforms
at the same time.
Of course there is one additional factor to the Philippine situation:
God has called a high number of Filipinos into Bis Church.
It is
unlikely that anything drastic will happen in the Philippines--and
certainly not the imposition of a religion-snuffing "People's
Republic•--until God allows. Much the same situation prevails in El
Salvador today, where government forces continue to hold the upper
hand.
