[edit] Article created

I thought it best to merge the two Standish brothers into one article. The Standish brothers are probably best known for their books, which they seem to co-write so the lists will be identical anyway. I created the page over a disambig page, from material on Colin Standish and Russell R. Standish. Colin MacLaurin 21:49, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Third party sources

This article needs third party, reliable sources. I liked this anecdote of Russell's, but resisted putting it in the article because already most of the content is sourced from the Standishes own writings:

Russell described a chance meeting with Desmond Ford at Loma Linda, California in 1978:

"There followed an hour and a half of friendly conversation, even when we discussed our strongly held differences. Des and Russell were still the old college pals of 1950 and their thoughts turned to those days. No acrimonious words passed their lips. At the conclusion of that visit, [the pastor visiting with Russell] privately expressed to Russell his surprise at the cordiality of the meeting. He did not fully understand the abrasive Australian personality, which holds beliefs very strongly, and loudly opposes those felt to be erroneous, while underneath harboring a soft heart, one of genuine friendship and true loyalty."^[1]
