Plus, Frist is Presby: SHAME HIM.
Hello West Asheville Presbyterian church and other Presbyterians throughout the United States:
I've known some fine Presbyterians in my time. THANKS TO THE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH LEADERSHIP for this on the front page of today's New York Times:
Remember this: FRIST IS A DIVIDER though he be a Presbyterian.
Moreover, per your web page and as associated with your fine Social Issues:

The General Assembly: Affirms.....its responsibility to speak on social and moral issues ....Reminds the churches that their duty is not only to encourage and train their members in daily obedience to God's will, but corporately to reveal God's grace in places of suffering and need, to resist the forces that tyrannize, and to support the forces that restore the dignity of all men as the children of God, for only so is the gospel most fully proclaimed;
thank you for your hard work, Presbyterian Churches of America. I hope, that since you are in Louisville, KY, where Frist's divisive meeting will take place, that you will have something to say about this matter come this Sunday, April 24th, 7 p.m.
Sincerely,
NY Times today, front page:
