Dear Rev. Cooper-Nelson,

Perhaps there will be an opportunity for more extended discussion

in the not-too distant future....and indeed I look forward to meeting

you personally. But I did want to provide one quick correction. Trinity

Presbyterian Church has not, in any sense, withdrawn its sponsorship

of RUF. In fact, the governing body of the church has not taken any

action of any kind with respect to RUF. Instead, we simply received

notification from Rev. Callahan, via my conversation with him, that

RUF's RLA application would not be approved this year. I might add

this was with the explicit understanding that, while RUF would not have

a standing with OCRL, it would continue as a recognized student

organization....this point was mentioned/assumed quite a few times

during the course of our conversation.

Let me say how much I thoroughly enjoyed my conversation with Rev.

Callahan. My hope, after our time together, was that it was a first step

toward warmer and more cordial relations and interactions between

all concerned.

Sincerely,

The Rev. David A. Sherwood
Senior Pastor
Trinity Presbyterian Church
