Here you can read the full text of the letter excerpted below. The background is that the Ugandan church had cut ties with the ECUSA, and were surprised to learn that the ECUSA was planning to send a delegation to see the installation (or whatever they call it) of the new-arch bishop. It is truly astonishing. I read it aloud to my shpherding group this evening and everyone was quite moved.

Speaking of our group, we had an interesting event occur, which I can't really talk much about, since it involves the difficult decision of a family in my church, but what happened was that we prayed for thier decision and the family in question called at the end of the meeting to tell us what they had decided. Unfortunately it was not the decision we were all hoping for, but now we are still committing ourselves to praying for them and supporting them. It's just weird when you pray for something and God answers with a pretty immediate "no".
