[CS-FSLUG] Goodbye, I resign.

Mon May 17 21:06:48 CDT 2004

Hi Christopher,

	I appreciate confessions, the prayer and reflection that went in them
to reflect clearly and briefly as best we're able, the fundamentals of
church doctrine.  And at their heart is the goal of unity in Christian
love for the Christian faith.  Having taken a course on Mennonite
history I have a new appreciation for the patience and tolerance the
church fathers of the reformation must of had during the perils of the
sixteenth and seventeenth century, a time when Anabaptists where
persecuted and killed even by reformers.  Bacvk to the value of a
confessional, one Mennonite pastor I'd had e-mail contact with suggested
posting a brief confessional on the door of your house, with a note
stating that this was what you believed. It would serve both to educate
and perhaps discourage cults from trying to convert you.

	Apart from sharing the gospel, I'm not keen on persuading people to
stay or go.  But I was curious, was there some significance to the
number 12?

	Ron T. (VE5EX, formerly FP5EK, ...)
