Response to Open Letter

http://www.episcopalchurch.org/documents/11-29-07_Response_to_open_letters.pdf

[The Episcopal Church] 3 Dec 2007--On July 14, four of you released via electronic mail “An Open Letter to Executive Council,” which raised some concerns about “recent actions of the Executive Council” and about litigation in which The Episcopal Church has been engaged. On August 27, with a fifth Bishop added on, you released “A Second Open Letter” to Council that raised some of the same points and noted that you had received no reply to the first “open
letter.”

Of course you will appreciate that Council had not met between the dates of these
two communications, which explains the lack of response to the first.

Council now has met and discussed this matter and has asked us, as chairs of the
two relevant standing committees of Council, to respond.
