My Brothers and Sisters,

The society has been in place for One Hundred and Fifty years. Its founders must be spinning in their graves. I was blessed to receive support from the Society for the Increase of Ministry while in seminary and have attempted to donate each year after graduation. But, since the events of this summer have culminated in the apostasy of the Episcopal Church in New Hampshire yesterday, I find that I can no longer support any organization that blindly contributes to the teachings at EDS, General, Bexley, Seabury, CDSP, or Austin. It is the "enlightened" teaching and "modern" interpretation of Holy Scripture that has brought our Church to the brink. Please let me know if it is possible to designate my donations to be only provided to Seminarians from Nashotah or Trinity? Barring such a provision, I must now send my donations directly to those schools.

May God Bless you,
Dick+

Roger,

Since the Preaching Conference at Emory University in 1994 I have been a supporter of The Episcopal Preaching Foundation. But, since the events of this summer culminated in the apostasy of the Episcopal Church in New Hampshire yesterday, I find that I can no longer support any organization that blindly contributes to the teachings at EDS, General, Bexley, Seabury, CDSP, or Austin. It is the "enlightened" teaching and "modern" interpretation of Holy Scripture that has brought our Church to the brink.

God Bless you,
Dick+
