Imagine if laymen all over the synod could equally document and describe doctrinal error as you did. Could they be ignored for too long?

GJ - Tim, the letter has been ignored for one year. Having letters written is a method for defusing conflict and moving the process along.

The people in Cape Girardeau knew Tabor was an adulterous pastor. They went to WELS Circuit Pastor Roger Zehms about it. He said, "Write a letter." LCR members wrote letters. After Tabor's wife was murdered by his mistress, aided and abetted by Tabor himself, the letters disappeared from his file. Jeb S. told me at lunch, "The file was empty." He never said who emptied the file.

Tim, you have part of it right. The letters need to be written. But they also need to be published for everyone to see. That is how the network of people abused by priests finally broke the cycle of lying and transfers.

Rick, you have to speak up at district meetings. Silence is consent.
