Go to The Rev. Jim Speaks In
- Add a comment
- Go to An Open Letter to My New Bishop
Go straight to the heart of the matter,
but leave the man a dignified way out. He will appreciate it.

You have me dwelling on this, Jim. I left you more notes on my blog.
Didn't know you moved back to yours! Ciao!

Well, Jim, I'm going to be brave and approach this first.
The type of letter and the tone, either tough or soft, would depend on many variables: what you're seeking to achieve with the letter, the type of individual the bishop is, what the circumstances are that surrounded your leaving (if you left), and how much of a risk or gamble in outcome you're willing to take, once an outcome is decided. Many questions I personally would ask before I'd want to give a concrete opinion.
I'm Baptist and therefore don't understand some of the bureaucracy surrounding this scenario.
