I had actually forgotten I had written the letter but it was published in the latest issue of Presbyterians Today. I fired off an email after reading a letter to the editor in a previous issue calling for the closing of the Washington Office of the PC(USA). The editor's response to the letter was technically correct but I thought it missed the point that some of us think the office should be closed and the money spent elsewhere.
The text of the letter;isted below because I doubt the URL will be active for long. is:
Missed the point
The editor's note (Readers Write, May) stating that the Washington Office is a part of the General Assembly Council, not the Office of the General Assembly, missed the point of the letter. Hiding behind the PCUSA bureaucracy ignores the fact that many of us believe the Washington Office should be closed regardless of which office it falls under. I believe your lack of a legitimate response speaks volumes.
