Under the initiation of Doug Shearer, senior pastor of New Hope Christian
Fellowship of Sacramento, CA, we are unofficially representing a broad section
of evangelical traditions to address various practices and beliefs in the
churches. Our common burden is to address such contemporary church issues
as demonic deliverance, political involvement, inner healing, modern day
prophecy, worship styles, etc. One goal is to make statements where we all
agree on both rights and wrongs in these areas. We intend to address issues
and practices rather than specific groups. We are amazed to find how much
agreement we can get on issues such as binding demons, an area where there
are vast differences within the group.
The name "Rogue Fellowship" may come from the character of the
participants, the character ofthe heterodoxies and heteropraxies we hope
to define, or from the fact that we first met in Ray Stedman's house overlooking
the Rogue River in Grants Pass, Oregon.
