I'm not bothered by it. I don't even care about the letter particularly. I have zero - literally zero - interest in the new structure. I plan to have as little to do with it as possible and I plan to be content as the pastor of my congregation. The excised quote just reminds me of the lectionary and how biblical passages are often excised in it - not just to make them shorter, but usually with obvious theological rationale. Often what's cut out is more interesting than what's put in.If anyone is bothered by the line that was included and/ or the lines that were excluded from the letter, they could try contacting Richard or Nora. Rumor has it Richard is quite responsive on FB. I don't know about Nora.
