I write to you as a brother in Christ. I have written things about you that were not in love, they were reaction to the pain in my heart. If they have caused you offense, I am sorry. John, I ask you now to look deep into your heart and see the pain you are causing the body of Christ. Your programs to force change in a person's God-given sexuality are harmful. Surely this is something you know. I truly believe you think you are acting in Christ's name, but somewhere, deep down you must know that you are not. You are welcome in my house as my brother and I pray that one day I will be welcome in yours.
can ppl please post a copy of any letter sent if they come across any? By readding what other people have said it will help others to compose a well thought out, meaningful, technically correct letter as opposed to just a heart-felt one. They have been dealing with this stuff for years - i doubt they will pay attention to anything that doesnt directly challenge them with a strong theoretical background. make sense?
