Dear Howard Welklin,
Thank you for responding to my letter. I understand that Mark
is very busy. I do, however, sincerely hope, and would like to
encourage you, to be sure that he does read the letter. I believe it
is a very important subject to know about and understand - the actions
that have been taken by the G.C. towards other churches - using the
government's power to persecute.
My motivation is not to talk bad of the G.C., but to be sure
SDAs understand what it means that the G.C. is doing this and just
what the issues really are.
I hope and pray that they will realize the error and repent -
perhaps if someone more well-known than I approaches them, they will
be more likely to listen - and understand.
Please do pray about investigating this matter more thoroughly
yourself - and pray about passing this on to Mark so that he can take
some time to investigate it himself.
Do you have the e-mail address for John Graz and Wintley Phipps? If
not, do you have their mailing address?
In Christ's love,
Barbara Isenburg
