Hillsong Releases Major Racial Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Update

Hillsong has released a significant update to their megacorp organization, announcing the hiring and creation of a Global Race Diversity and Inclusion Committee team and strategy to ensure that the church is operating in an equitable manner and making sure there are sufficient minorities and women on staff and in positions of power, announcing in a press release:

“We realized we had to go after not only racial reconciliation and healing but also racial diversity and inclusion. And this we did.”

The church formed a “Global Race Diversity and Inclusion Committee” that is compromised of “global RDI experts” and other church leaders.” It is spearheaded by longtime pastor Darren Kitto and Hillsong member Harry Phinda. Over the last few months they’ve been busy doing the following:

Hired a full-time Race Diversity and Inclusion Manager.

Developed a Global Racial Diversity and Equity Strategy to build racial diversity, equity, and inclusion into our church’s strategic planning, policy, and governance process.

Published a theological paper on Racial Diversity to ensure that Hillsong staff are leading from a Biblical standpoint.

Provided racial diversity equity and inclusion training for the global lead pastoral team and global board.

Started the creation of a high-quality Race Matters 9-hour mandatory video training for Hillsong staff and volunteers, composed of numerous global experts and lead staff, with the intent of increasing awareness and equipping our global leaders.

Other members of the team include Fadzi Whande, the Senior Diversity and Inclusion Adviser at the United Nations Human Rights Office in Geneva, Switzerland, who retweeted this lovely tweet, and Femi Olu-Lafe, an “award-winning diversity, equity, and inclusion specialist” who is the Senior Vice President of Global Culture & Inclusion for Kinesso.

In an attached Q&A about whether or not the church supports Critical Race Theory, they note that “We understand CRT to be a social theory” and that “we believe that where social theories align with Biblical truth, they can be useful tools for us as we learn how to love our neighbors better.”

Tim Keller Peddles ‘Biblical Critical Theory’

Evangelical leftists are well known for flip-flopping from one position to another. During the summer of 2020, many evangelical leaders dove headlong into the social justice movement, embracing critical theory in open defiance of Biblical teaching on justice. This embrace was followed by backpedaling in some cases, as many pastors received pushback from their congregants.

Flip-floppers went from pedaling social justice-aligned books like Jamar Tisby’s The Color of Compromise to denying that Critical Race Theory was actually being used in churches and seminaries to indoctrinate Christians into Marxist ideologies that contradict the gospel. Now it appears that many of the leftist flip-floppers in evangelicalism may once again be poised to accept critical theory as a “useful analytical tool” and even attempt to syncretize the theory with the gospel.

Tim Keller, Gospel Coalition founder and promoter of some of the most subversive “Christian” ideologies in the last twenty years, is known for taking foul secular ideologies and baptizing them in the waters of Christianese. Keller regularly partners with Biologos and its founder Francis Collins in promoting theistic evolution, the baptism of the false secular humanistic teaching of evolution in the waters of Christian language.

Through the Gospel Coalition, Keller has been a leading promoter of leftist political ideology under the false premise that political parties are morally neutral. Keller has even gone so far as to register as a Democrat, aligning himself with a political party that has advanced the cause of normalizing sodomy, establishing child-abusing transgender policies, legalizing preborn baby murder, and advocating numerous other anti-biblical policy.

With a track record of disguising false ideology with a thin veneer of Christianese, one should not be surprised that Keller, who originally claimed to be against the false ideologies of “Secular Justice and Critical Theory”, recently joined forces with philosopher Christopher Watkins in the promotion of a new Christianized version of Critical Theory. 

Keller wrote the foreword in Watkins’ upcoming book “Biblical Critical Theory,” which is set to be released in November. According to Watkin, he wanted to write a book that took the Bible seriously while also taking Critical Theory seriously.

I am scrambling around as an undergraduate, trying to find books that take both the universe of these critical theorists seriously, that really understand them, and that take the Bible seriously, and seek to remain faithful to it, and I just couldn’t find anything, and I was sure that there was a book out there to be written.

The real question that Watkin and Keller should be asking is, “Why should Christians be engaged in the practice of syncretizing a Biblical worldview with the many godless ideologies of the world.” Believers have a duty to answer the world’s questions through the sufficient words of scripture, but Christians should never expect that scripture will satisfy the carnal desires of a fallen world that is bent against God. 

A closer examination of Watkins’ beliefs reveals that, while he claims to hold to a “Biblical critical theory,” the lens he views the world through looks much like the lens of other leftist Critical theorists who have made their mark on evangelicalism in the last five years. Watkins is currently in the middle of a four-year Australian-government funded research project to investigate the role that the church and Christian institutions can play in the “new social contract” (aka new world order).

When Watkins explained his theories on social contract in the past, they resembled Keller’s views on how social gospel-infused into society by Christian institutions can benefit society. As with all presentations of social gospel, the presentation of the gospel is made subservient to a desire to find common ground with the false ideologies of the world. Watkins has fallen prey to the Critical Race Theory narrative pervasive in the United States, as he has paid homage to false race-based narratives and left-wing organizations in his writings on social contract.

I would like to finish by quoting an account from a meeting of faith-based leaders gathered in Ferguson, Missouri in 2014 in the aftermath of the shooting of Michael Brown, an 18-year-old black man, who was killed by a 28-year-old white police officer. The account is written by Michael Ray Matthews from the PICO Network (People Involved in Community Organizing).

As I continued to lead songs and chants in the pouring rain, one of the seminarians grabbed the bullhorn and asked if we could change our chant from ‘show me what democracy looks like’ to ‘show me what theology looks like.’ She was calling her sisters and brothers in the faith to go all in—to be totally immersed in mind, body and spirit, to bring the richness of our faith into the public space. 

The book has received endorsements from a number of critical theory proponents on the left, including egalitarian feminist theologian Michael Bird.

Classic Repost: World Vision Goes Woke, Says All White Christians are ‘Racist’ who have ‘White Gaze’

Last year World Vision created an online course designed to equip churches and pastors to understand “racial justice.” In reality, it was a hotbed of Critical Race Theory and unbiblical syncretism, infecting the organization and resulting in the wokefication of World Vision and a denial of some core tenets of the Christian Faith. These articles expose the extent that CRT and pagan syncretism – the fusion of different systems of religious beliefs with Christianity – has compromised the mission of the famed NGO.

World Vision has been driving leftwards for a while now. Famously back in 2014, they changed their hiring practices to allow men and women in gay “marriage” to be hired and considered for employment, then quickly reversed course under the pressure and backlash, causing the late heretic Rachel Held Evans to weep in peevishly lament.

In the summer of 2020, in the wake of the death of George Floyd, World Vision announced they would be hosting a free one-year online course titled “May We Be One: Pastors pursuing Racial Justice” which is designed to educate on social justice and is put on in partnership with “leaders who represent a diverse group of churches and our friendships with experts and some of the pioneers of this work.”

The organization currently has over 115,000 pastors, priests, deacons, and Christian faith leaders trained through the Word Vision program, and they assert that because of their experience in equipping local churches, they believe that they are “positioned to act as a convener and host for this experience.”

Some of their stated goals are to have church leaders “be prepared to lead conversations about racism in America,” and to “engage with one another to dismantle racism and change the landscape of the church,” and comprise a series of sessions between guests and host.

Here are several articles we have done on them, demonstrating that World Vision has gone to a very, very dark place.

In Part 1 Randy Woodley advocated for pagan syncretism, explaining that Christian missionaries were wrong to tell the Native tribes to repent from their pagan spiritual and animistic ways, given that they were already loving God before the missionaries arrived.

In Part 2, Dr. Soong-Chan Rah explained the concept of “white gaze’ and how it is designed to frame black people as a threat, resulting in the propensity of white Christians to “act instinctively to preserve that narrative of white superiority” and “act naturally, instinctively, to preserve…the narrative of white superiority.”

In Part 3 Rev. Sandra Maria Van Opstal explained that white Christians instinctually view all view Asians as either pets or threats and as a result, need to learn “all the ways they have participated in the pain of the Asian American community and in being complicit…with the things that have happened to them.” She further explains that if we “aren’t willing to sit with the weight of guilt when it comes to the sins of racism, we will never understand that we are the problem. Unless we acknowledge the existence of white privilege, we can’t understand our own complicity in it.”

In Part 4 Dr. Soong-Chan Rah explained how by default and intrinsically, white people view black people and Asians as either “pets” or “threats” and view Asian women as invisible or sexual jezebels. He explains that when white people look at black people, “if you’re not the pet, you become the threat. You are the unidentified black male that commits every crime in our city. You are the individual that is seen as the unsafe person in our society. And even worse, if you are the pet that becomes the threat.”

In Part 5, Dr. Efrem Smith lauds Liberation Theology as “transformational” and “a gift to the church.” He explains how Black Liberation Theology is a great tool for having a proper understanding of justice and gospel evangelism, while fellow panelist Kat Armas explains that white people are colonizers. The desire to colonize is the dominant culture in America today, and that white people still continue to perpetuate the myth that persons of color are colonized and are viewed as chaotic, irrational, and evil, with a special desire to colonize Latinx people.

In Part 6, Dr. Efrem Smith explains that after he had a “second conversion” into the religion of “racial reconciliation,” he came to understand that the multiethnic church, in order to be a reconciling church, also must deal with disparities; chasms and gaps that existed by race, class, and place. He explains that the church must be “willing to stand in the gaps, to bridge the gaps, to address the disparities that exist’ and our example is Jesus, given “Jesus stepped into the disparities and the gaps that existed between Jew and Gentile. Jesus stepped into the gaps that existed in the gender structure.”

Woke Anti-Racist Leader in Uproar After Christian University Apologizes for his Past Appearance

Famed anti-racist leader Jemar Tisby and his many followers have come out raging after a Christian College he previously spoke at repudiated his message and presence, releasing a report highlighting the error and apologizing for having him speak in the first place, which has drawn voluminous gnashing of teeth from the teacher.

Jemar Tisby, perhaps best known for writing the theologically compromised book The Color of Compromise, is the founder of the Witness Black Christian Collective (previously called Reformed African American Network or RAAN) which is an allegedly Christian organization created to “fight injustice” all the while promoting an openly pro-choice, pro-LGBTQ radical to the role of Vice President. In fact, it was only last year that he was Hired by Ibram X. Kendi to be His New ‘Assistant Director of Narrative and Advocacy’

In early February of 2022, Grove City College (GCC) after being dogged by “persistent reports of actions allegedly indicating creeping “wokeness” at the College, particularly through the introduction of critical race theory (“CRT”)” appointed an ad hoc Special Committee to review allegations of mission-drift. The Committee has completed its work and found that by and large they have not succumbed to wokeness or the advances of CRT, but did find a few “specific instances of misalignment”- such as a created “Advisory Council on Diversity” which they say is now defunct, a presentation by the Director of Multicultural Education and Initiatives (“DMEI”) “offering suggestions for how to
understand and support minority students.” which included a TED Talk video focusing on “whiteness” and criticizing the concept of race neutrality, and Jemar Tisby’s chapel service.

This they say was a mistake, and they have taken measures to ensure it never happens again.

This has prompted the response:

and

While Tisby’s chapel message was relatively benign, compared to much of the racially charged content he’s known for putting out, we applaud GCC for their repudiation and would suggest that until he deals with all the pro-LGBTQ and pro-abortion sentiment that plagues his own organization, that he not worry about it too much.

Andy Stanley in Pure CRT Mode: ‘It’s Not Enough to Be ‘Not Racist.’ You Must be ‘Anti-Racist’+ You’re all Racists

Andy Stanely, doing his very best Angla Davis/ Ibram X Kendi impression, demonstrated in a newly unearthed sermon that in his words, it’s not enough to be not a fan of Andy Stanley, but rather you must be Anti-Stanley.

Speaking to his congregation during June of 2020 as part of his This Human Race series, the Northpoint Church pastor revealed his belief that white people fear black people. Later in the sermon, he went on a tear against white folk for harboring unexamined racism towards black folk, explaining that people need to stop claiming that they ‘love everybody’ and rather must specifically love people of color.

Furthermore, in the purest form of Critical Race Theory imaginable, Stanley argues there is no middle ground on the subject: being non-racist is in fact, a form of racism, where unless you are active, practicing ‘non-racist,’ then you’re worst than a racist, because you’re a racist in denial.

Stanley explains:

So what does the Jesus brand of love look like in our current context? How should it shape how people who don’t look like you experience you? How should it shape how people who don’t look like us experience us? First, and this is certainly not original with me:

It is not enough. It is not enough NOT to be a racist. It is not enough NOT to be a racist. ‘Non-racist’ is not the goal. Being non-racist does nothing to address racism. Practically speaking, it amounts to indifference toward racism.

If you’re a Jesus follower, you must be, we must be anti-racism. Just like you’re anti-child abuse. Think about it. You, you wouldn’t walk by somebody abusing a child and think to yourself, ‘I’m not a child abuser.’ You wouldnt walk by and think to yourself, ‘I’m not a child abuser’ and say nothing or do nothing. We must be anti-racist, like we’re anti-bullying, like we’re anti-voter fraud, like we’re anti-whatever it is that gets you worked up.

I mean, think about it this way, if you’re a parent, as a parent, I wasn’t content to simply be non-liar. I was anti-lie. I did not put up with it in my children in our family, right? I wasn’t content with being non-disrespectful to Sandra, I was anti-disrespect to Sandra. There was zero tolerance for disrespecting Sandra in our household.

When you are anti-something, you address it when you see it. You speak up when you hear it, and to carry somebody’s burdens is to get up underneath the weight of their burden. And when we decide to carry the burden of anyone who has been discriminated against for any reason, we won’t be silent. Because now it’s our burden.

But I gotta warn you, speaking from personal experience, I’ll own this, whether you’re white or brown or black. When you shift from non-racist to anti-racist, you may discover something disturbing about you.

You may discover a racist in the mirror. You may discover subtle versions of racism that have been hiding, even masquerading as virtues, buried in the recesses of your heart. Racism, racism, you were completely unaware of until you decided to say something, correct something, or apologize for something.

For some of us, the truth is, when it comes to our hearts, racism will never be routed out until we are willing to speak out. And honestly, there’s probably a little bit of racism in all of us. And who knows, perhaps it will never be completely erased from our hearts, but it must certainly be erased from how people experience us.

There’s a lot to unpack there, but suffice to say Stanley conflates several different categories. He first supposes that someone who is “not racist” but is also not an ‘anti-racist would not directly intervene when blatant and discriminatory racism is presented, when that is simply not true. Furthermore, other than asserting earlier in the sermon that “white people fear black people” he doesn’t give us examples of racist behavior that non-racists would let slide but ‘anti-racists’ wouldn’t. He concludes:

Would you, regardless of the color of your skin, decide not to be content with merely being a non-racist? Will you decide to make the shift to anti-racism, anti-discrimination? Will you stop?

And I’m sorry to push so hard, but would you please stop with all the ‘but I love everybody’ and would you go out and love somebody who doesn’t look like you? Who doesn’t experience the world the way that you do? In other words, will you follow Jesus?

Kyle J. Howard Makes His Most Racist and Demonic Statements Yet!

Our favorite race-baiter Kyle J. Howard, a man who currently has a $3500 *informational* bounty on his head on account of lying about being a gang-member for intersectional points and internet clout, and who finds himself traumatized and triggered so frequently by all things white that he likely had to buy stainless steel appliances in his house, lest he never step foot in his kitchen, has really devolved over these last few months. We’ve written about him at the following links, as well as others, which give a good sense of all the ways he’s perverting scripture and molesting the text.

Kyle J. Howard Says ‘White Supremacy’ Grounds For Biblical Divorce, But Only for Black Folks
Kyle J. Howard Says Worship Music is Traumatizing, Especially ‘White Evangelical Worship’,
Kyle J. Howard Casts Shade at Black Folks Who Marry White Women
Kyle J. Howard Claims SBTS Full of Racists, Twauma
Kyle J. Howard Films Himself Crying and Then Shares it Because of Attention

Now, just in the last 4 days, we’ve accumulated a bunch of tweets where he reveals he won’t step foot into churches with predominantly white people or take the Lord’s supper there, that black people can’t be racist if they repudiate the ‘white gaze’ (see more here. Basically, it means that white folk see all black men as ‘pets’ or ‘threats’ and black women as ‘mammies or ‘jezebels’ and says there is scientific data showing that white people are more racist than not.

Enjoy!



That’s just a few highlights over a few days. You can imagine what the rest of his toxic feed is.

Apologist Josh McDowell Steps Back From Ministry after ‘Racist’ Comments

Days after Apologist Josh McDowell Came Under Fire for “Racist” Comments, he has announced on Twitter that he has decided to “step back” from his ministry and speaking engagements in order to enter into “a season of listening to address the growth areas” in order to personally grow and better understand how he can “contribute to the reconciliation and unity that God desires for us all.”

McDowell, perhaps best known for his book Evidence that Demands a Verdict, came under fire for remarks that became widely mischaracterized [Here’s looking at you, Julie Roys -Ed.] that he made at the American Association of Christian Counselors conference in Orlando, FL, saying at one point after he unloaded on critical race theory:

Everybody says blacks, whites, everybody has equal opportunity to make it in America. No they don’t, folks.  I do not believe Blacks, African-Americans, and many other minorities have equal opportunity. Why? Most of them grew up in families where there is not a great emphasis on education, security – ‘you can do anything you want. You can change the world. If you work hard, you will make it!’

So many African-Americans don’t have those privileges like I was brought up with.  My folks weren’t very rich, in fact, they were a poor farming family. But the way I was raised, I had advantages in life ingrained into me. ‘You can do it! Get your education! Get a job! Change the world!’

And that makes it different opportunities.

While the 82-year-old is enjoying his time off going through reeducation camp, one possibly manned by woke CRU staff members, the organization he is affiliated with, the ministry will continue, with Duane Zook CEO leading the daily efforts.

World Vision Teacher Suggests Churches are White Supremacist by Default, Must ‘Name’ and ‘Balance’ Power Dynamics

Continuing the trend in the wikification of World Vision, Dr. Soong-Chan Rah interviews Dr. Korie Little Edwards, who joins Dr. Soong-Chan Rah for their “May We Be One” course.

Dr. Korie Little Edwards is perhaps the most radical progressive and given over to a racialized mindset as they come. While she teaches some relatively benign (for this crowd) bad advice about race and power, she is listed as a recommended resource, and her other works include some incredibly divisive and destructive teachings. One example is on her Elusive Dream podcast where it is asserted that if you’re on this side of the grave, no matter who you are, “you most assuredly have something to repent of as it relates to white supremacy in this society, and if you think you don’t, well, hmm hmm hmm.”

In this case, she explains how because “there are power dynamics outside the church, and those come into the church” the church can’t help but be a racial minefield where persons of color will in some way be subjugated.

Pastors of color have to really deal with people considering them being legitimate authorities. And that white pastors, that is not something they have to really navigate, they are perceived and understood as being legitimate authorities, people that they should be listened to, and followed. It’s not to say that white pastors don’t have a problem to they do [sic]. I mean, they still have to navigate white hegemony or white supremacy, they still have to navigate that in the church. But one thing they do have, is they’re perceived as legitimate authorities.

Unlike white pastors, black pastors have to deal with the emotional impacts of not being viewed as a legitimate authority, and this sort of reality “also extends to congregants. Even congregants of colour deal with similar kinds of pain, where what it means to be and how to express yourself in the worship context, is not considered Christian.”

So one of the key things that happens in multiracial churches is that white supremacy and what I broadly and more generally call ‘white hegemony’ begins to really dominate the space. And that is so powerful. It’s so powerful. And if pastors and leaders are aware of that, it will continue to manifest and really hinder the ministry of the church…what happens often in multiracial churches is you want to ignore the power dynamics that happen outside the church and pretend that it doesn’t matter for with what’s going on in the church. And then what happens is we (believe), everybody’s on equal, everybody’s on equal stand. And that’s just that’s just not true. Everybody’s not. Everybody’s not on equal standing in multiracial churches, white people have greater power outside the church, and they have it in the church.

In order to combat the white supremacy that infiltrates and permeates churches, especially ones that are considered multiracial, Edwards gives her solution:

And I would suggest that one of the key things that multiracial churches have to do is name that immediately and deal with it. Don’t pretend it’s not there, because it’s hurtful to people of color. I’ll tell you that’s number one. Because whenever you don’t name it, whenever you don’t speak the truth about a social fact, it will continue to have power in that space. So the first thing is to name it and to acknowledge it and to talk about how are we going to bring balance to the power imbalance. What are we going to do?

The Wokefication of World Vision: “Jesus Stepped Into The Gaps That Existed In The Gender Structure”

Continuing our journey through the wokefication of World Vision, we have another clip from Dr. Efrem Smith, the Co-lead Pastor of Bayside Church Midtown in Sacramento, explaining that, after he had a “second conversion” into the religion of “racial reconciliation” he began to see things for how they are, and Jesus for who he is. It is for this reason that the gospel of Christ demands the elimination of “disparities.” Taken from Session 10 of the ‘May We Be One’ course which is being taught to thousands of pastors and tens of thousands of people:

I grew up in the African-American church in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Still have high regard for the African-American church, deeply connected to the African-American church. Believe in the need for thriving, flourishing, missional, reproducing African-American churches. It’s needed.

And at the same time, I was gripped as a teenager when I rode my bike past a Methodist church in my neighborhood. It was having an outreach event called the Soul Liberation Festival…I heard a message by a guy named John Perkins preaching on reconciliation…I found myself at the altar. I was already a Christian. I’d been baptized. But I had a second conversion in that moment, a calling to racial reconciliation and righteousness. That’s where my journey began. This passion that the church, whenever possible, would look as much like heaven as it can.

In response to that, commenter Matthew Shepherd points out in the combox: “The moment you need to hit the brakes and reevaluate your beliefs is when you begin a sentence, “I had a second conversion to…fill in the blank.” If you’re elevating your calling to the status of conversion your view of calling isn’t biblical.”

…The multiethnic church can’t simply just be about diversity. The multiethnic church, in order to be a reconciling church, also must deal with disparities. As I became a youth pastor in Minneapolis and eventually a church planter of a multiethnic church, our church was diverse, but I realized that in the city where I was pastoring, there were disparities. Chasms. Gaps that existed by race, class, and place.

In areas of home ownership, in areas of economic net worth, in areas of education, of high school graduation, of going on to college and graduating, when it came to issues of incarceration, there were these disparities that existed. These gaps that existed by race.

But sometimes it was not just about race. It was about place. Where you lived, your zip code. And it was about class. Where you were in the economic categories, statuses, in our nation.

And so the multiethnic church, it can’t just be about, ‘Oh, look how diverse we are. ♫Red and yellow, black and white, we are precious in his sight♫’ It also has to be: is the church willing to stand in the gaps, to bridge the gaps, to address the disparities that exist? So my life journey went from this passion and heart for diversity to also a church that is missional enough to deal with disparities. That’s what Jesus did.

Jesus stepped into the disparities and the gaps that existed between Jew and Gentile. Jesus stepped into the gaps that existed in the gender structure. That’s why he would stand between stones and a woman caught in adultery, getting ready to receive the death penalty but yet the guy was nowhere to be found. People that didn’t want to be touched by a woman with a disease.

And so Jesus steps into the disparities. Jesus doesn’t just develop diversity, Jesus stepped into the disparities, the gaps between the slave and the free, the incarcerated and the empowered, male and female, Jew and Gentile.

Critical Race Theory Evangelical Stuff Featured Scandal

Filmmakers Announce Documentary Sequel ‘Uncle Tom II’ Featuring Voddie Baucham

A sequel to the acclaimed and highly received “Uncle Tom: An Oral History of the American Black Conservative” documentary is in the works for release this fall and is set to feature former pastor and current Christian educator Voddie Baucham.

The first film, which was produced by conservative talk show host Larry Elder and co-written with Chad Jackson, examined the black conservative movement and how they reject victim mentality while promoting self-empowerment, resulting in them being excoriated as sell-outs, house negroes, and “Uncle Toms” by their peers and the media. Elder explains in an interview with Jeff Carlin:

The ‘Uncle Tom’ movie simply asks a very simple question: Why can’t we have an intelligent, healthy discussion within the Black community without a whole cadre of well-educated, bright, thoughtful Black people being maligned and discarded as sellouts? What’s prompting this?

The film has a 96-percent critics score on Rotten Tomatoes, a 4.7/5 stars based on 4491 reviews on Amazon Prime video, and an 8.8/10 based on 5,556 reviews on IMDB.

Now, for the follow-up, Uncle Tom will feature Voddie Baucham in some capacity. Though no synopsis yet has been given, it is speculated by some that it will revolve in part around his battle against Critical Race Theory and the release of his book Fault Lines, which has many progressive pastors and activists levelling those same “Uncle Tom” charges against him.

Voddie, who is doing well after his heart surgery and was recently spotted doing an interview with Daily Wire, has not yet commented on the extent of his involvement.
