Vienne,
As a matter of interest, I believe the writer you are referring to was dismissed from Bethel service for breaking an engagement. It was a sad story and an act of passion and foolishness on his part. The 1975 change on breaking engagements was put into place because of him.
This "new writer" is a fascinating concept. Why on Earth 🌍 would they pick a single writer to try and fill Franz's shoes. And why one who seems to have been so unlike him*? Was his dismissal the reason for the writing department, or did that already exist in some form? If it already existed, why find one golden haired boy to replace Fred?
* My thumbnail projection would be the usual: he ticked the right boxes not related specifically to writing, and he sucked up to the right people in the right way.
Yikes! Nothing like post hijackers.
Aqua seed the Greeks had an ancient and interesting theology. Great temples. Why not go on a tangent about them? Why not discuss the meaning of Santa Claus and the real number of buttons on his coat?
