I still look forward to an opportunity for us to mcet face to face, but even prior to that time I need to seek clarification from you about several issues related to EPC's proposed "transitional
presbytery" and how that might relate to our churches seeking to be dismissed to the EPC through that presbytery. I obviously wish we were not dealing with these issues of division, but
since we are, I hope we can do it in ways that do not damage the relationships between the PCUSA and the EPC.
