In December 2009, the Christian Research Institute (CRI) published an issue of the Christian Research Journal (now available in a special edition in several languages from CRI’s website) in which it reported some of the findings of a six-year primary research project concerning the teaching and practice of Witness Lee and the local churches. Hank Hanegraaff, President of CRI, participated in the research directly. He was aided by Elliot Miller, Editor-in-Chief of the Journal, and Gretchen Passantino, co-founder and Director of Answers in Action (AIA) and co-author of some of the earliest printed material critical of Witness Lee and the local churches. Both before and after the special issue of the Journal was published, Hank Hanegraaff, Gretchen Passantino, and Elliot Miller discussed their research on the Bible Answer Man radio broadcast. In some of the broadcasts, Hanegraaff was joined by Andrew Yu and Chris Wilde, representatives of Living Stream Ministry, publisher of the ministry of Watchman Nee and Witness Lee. Video excerpts of those broadcasts are available on the following pages:
