Dear Commission:
Thank you for your letter of February 15, 2007 and the copy of “CTCR Response to Expressions of Dissent (2004-2006).” Our congregation studied these thoroughly for 12 weeks during our Sunday morning Bible class time. A response should be forthcoming from the congregation. What follows is my response.
You declined to address our concern about open communion and revivalistic worship saying that you did not believe these fell into the category of dissent from Synod’s position. Perhaps our concerns are not part of the Synod’s official position, but they were part of President Kieschnick’s official report to the Synod, and the Synod in convention officially accepted them.
