basically, the clerk for the board of elders says that my letter will be read at the board meeting next Tuesday. He'll get back with me after that.
MzEllen – Resolved, to live with all my might, while I do live.
…as of first importance…that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures

What a carefully articulated letter.
At first, I was not a sympathetic reader. That bit about rebuilding a NO church? I mean, come on, everyone is helping out NO, no questions asked. I wondered what could be so wrong in that.
Then, I came to see the problem with these ministers preaching at your (old) church. I mean, those sorts of things go far beyond the pale: the dreams, the appeals to unity and cooperation, the claims of (divinely-vested?) authority of the pastorate. Am I hearing you correctly? Perhaps I read too much into your charges.
In short, I hadn't any idea there was so much risk involved in churchgoing!
