Yes, this is one of the difficulties I find and that is that one of the principal publishers of the Ruhi materials is Palabra Publications which is associated with Paul Lample who is one of the staunchest supporters and promoters of the Study Circle "engine" on the ITC. I wonder too if there are royalty arrangements with the Ruhi Institute in Cali Colombia. And there are also tie ups with Development Learning Press etc etc with other materials. And there is definitely a Farzam Arbab connection there, who is another strong evangelist. I wish they, whoever they is, would put the Ruhi curriculum materials in the public domain in a digital format and put any potential real or imagined conflict of interest beyond reproach.
