Rob acknowledges the serious nature of our concerns and rebukes JD for attaching personal emails between KP and JD while KP seems to be trying to work things out.
“I have read the materials you have sent along over the past months and note that you raise very serious concerns…. Why not pursue [KP’s] offer rather than break trust further by publicly distributing personal correspondence as you have done?”

Greetings JD,
I have read the materials you have sent along over the past months and note that you raise very serious concerns. The last few pages of this document pass along email correspondence between yourself and KP. I find it inappropriate that you would distribute such correspondence which is obviously personal and delivered in trust and confidence. Clearly brother KP is reaching out to you and the others who have a grievance with GFA, for reconciliation. Why not pursue that offer rather than break trust further by publicly distributing personal correspondence as you have done?
As a board member in Canada I will seek to be as aware and engaged as I can be in the health and effectiveness of the ministry and I appreciate your appeal to us as board members to respond to your concerns. I do believe that God is refining us all and have no doubt that you too are wanting to honour The Lord in all of this. May that refining happen without further damage to the unity of Christ’s body.In Him,
