I don't have it Jim. I have employees and don't have any messengers
on any machines. It creates distractions! LOL

I give out whatever state others would like me to reveal, Jim.
I'm from the Pocono Mts. of NE PA, my state of mind is usually happy and upbeat, and my state of affairs is what only can be called tumultuous! Right now, my state of emotions is deliriously happy it's the weekend. Can you tell??? LOL

Coffee, roasted here in Mo by a friend of mine. And do you give out your state? (mine is happy to meet you)

Well, Jim, we could drink it virtually.
I'm having Hazlenut. My favorite.

It sure is! In fact, you've got mail.
Where's the honeymoon? I have to warn you, I'm a fairly "material girl". LOL

Just heating up coffee now as a matter of fact, so join me.

Is that an "I do"?
I can be pretty funny.... Shall we meet for coffee?

I do too, Jim. I've never seen this humorous side of you! LOL
I also checked your profile and you also own your own business. It is a marriage made in heaven (excuse the pun, I am always a bit wacky on weekends)! LOL

Well, the truth is that I am not yet clear on what i want
Hence this process which I am finding quite enlightening. I kinda like our engagement.
LOL

Then the bishop has something you want, Jim. Recognition of your ordained
status. What must be done is to get him to acquiesce and acknowledge you. What must not be done is to put him on the defensive even slightly. I would, personally, speak to his humanity. His sense of right and wrong. And make an assumption that he will possess these qualities, as well as restore your status. Any letter must answer the age old question, "What's in it for me". "Me" being the bishop. In any letter/proposal it is important to ascertain who has the balance of power. In this case, it is the bishop as he has something you want. You would probably do well to show him that you also have something he wants, and that you are relying upon his great judgment to be aware of this.

That letter is just one approach
The truth is that I am not attached to what the diocese thinks of me. I am an ordained sufi minister as well. I am just trying to respond to an inner sense that I might be a more effective bridge between Christians and all other religions if my Christian ordination was respected by my ordaining church.
Light,
Shams

Well, geez, Jim, you could've told me first about the engagement! LOL
I've read your letter on top too. I do have suggestions on that also. I'm mulling it over now. Will put them up when I think I'm ready. I see there is a history there of trying to get back into an active ministry within the diocese. That also affects how it should be written. Much to think of here.
