February 26, 2007 Dear Bishop Persell and Mr Perillo, Greetings in the Name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Please share this with the Standing Committee. We’ve received your letter of the 13th and shared it with the entire congregation. We were disappointed but, as promised, we will accept your decision. We are working now on a plan to move forward, and will have dates, meetings and means of choosing in place in the next few weeks. I believe that a large portion of the congregation will choose to leave, and that I will have to resign and renounce my orders, and those who leave will then together simply start over, with hope, in rented facilities. I do not have a time line for any of this yet: we will prayerfully work through it and keep you apprised. When the decisions are finally made, we also fully intend to leave with nothing that belongs to the Episcopal Church of the Resurrection. We will make an inventory of church property and give it to you. Some individuals have items of their own on the premises which we will ask them to take home. We will also make a list of these and provide it to you, so that everything is above board and open. We also intend to clean the entire church, head to toe, before we turn it over to you. When the time comes for parting, which I believe that it will, we will turn over keys, accounts and records to you. If there are any who choose to stay, we will bless them and pray for them. We will most certainly turn them over to your care. As a time line and decisions are developed and made, we will continue to keep you informed. We will also pray for your blessing and ask that you pray for ours. On a personal note, this is a time of enormous emotion and deep grief. It is one of the hardest things I’ve ever done in my life. Though I hope that I have been clear in our disagreement, I also hope that I have been honorable. In Christ, George+ _____________________________ |
