Statement of Faith discussions by Field Directors and top Vision leaders reveal how they approach covering up serious doctrinal disagreements

The email thread includes those in the VBM Field Directors group: Austin Gardner, Jeff Bush, Travis Snode, Mark Coffey, Jason Holt, Mark Tolson, Robert Canfield, and "Bradley"

Notice how:

1. Mark Coffey recommended that VBM allow a VBM missionary with serious docrinal disagreements to continue getting money for 2 years through VBM in order to save face and to help the missionary

2. Austin Gardner would not have had a problem if the missionary had kept his mouth shut and stayed off of Facebook

3. Jeff Bush appeared to be ok either way

4. Whether the missionary was a threat or not who could hurt the mission agency was mentioned multiple times

5. It was mentioned how if the missionary spoke badly of the board then they would change the way they would operate regarding the missionary

6. Mark Tolson and Jason Holt understood the way it would come across if the missionary was told to stay quiet and still receive support as well as how it would sound if a threat of dismissal was added at the end if the missionary talked

7. Jeff Bush's relationship with "Jefe" Austin Gardner

8. Jeff Bush knew of the doctrinal issues but was ok with the missionary in the shadows until it became too much of a PR risk
