ACWG INDEX

"ACWG" stands for the "Adullum's Cave Writers' Group", which was a small group of Christians who had been rejected from a movement that temporarily 'lost its way' in the 1980s. To understand their nickame, read about the supporters who gathered around David when he was under attack from King Saul (1 Samuel 22:1-2). The group members lived in various parts of the UK, but had links and contacts across the world. This section of my website preserves a selection of the articles they wrote and circulated.
