[The following letter was sent to Dr. Frank Page of the SBC, in response to Ken Silva's article on his writing to Dr. Page]

TO: pastor@taylorsfbc.org
FROM: slicedlaodicea@earthlink.net   

Dear Dr. Page,

As you are probably aware, a letter written to you by a Mr. Ken Silva and your reply to him was posted on his website here.

I commend you for your wise reply to Mr. Silva, as his record of ‘discernment’ is rather spotty, to say the least. Might I suggest this site, and this particular ever-growing collection of writing on Mr. Silva and his compadres in smearing Christian brothers and becoming thorns in the side of the church. Also note his continued disdain for the SBC, whose affiliation he seems to continue to hold only for the purposes of maintaining his title of ‘reverend’.

Thank you again for your discernment in declining to give fuel to his heretic-hunting fires.

Grace & peace,

UPDATE:

My cut and paste job wasn’t complete, and Ingrid seems to think I was seeking anonymity.  No conspiracy here, Ingrid, just a mistake in cut and paste.  Also, as an FYI – 1) it isn’t slander if it’s true, 2) this site is primarily a collection of links to articles written about Slice or its writers, all (to my knowledge) with known authors, and 3) I’m not ‘emergent’, but I doubt you’ll correct your error, since they’re your whipping boys right now…

Here is the bottom of the letter:

Thank you again for your discernment in declining to give fuel to his heretic-hunting fires.

Grace & peace,

Chris Lyons
