To: Mr. Robert Dick, Mr. Leslie McCullough, and all of the Council of Elders of the United Church of God,

Your letter of May 10 was read and warmly received at our General Conference meeting yesterday. As we discussed the letter there were many positive comments about the humility and brotherly spirit that you have extended to us as fellow ministers.

The result of our discussion was a unanimous agreement among our elders to respond positively and move forward with the proposed task force of elders.

We have asked Mr. George Meeker, Mr. Warren Zehrung, and Mr. Norbert Link to represent Church of God, a Christian Fellowship in this effort. Mr. Meeker has volunteered to serve as the coordinator for our group. Please feel free to contact him whenever your ministers who will serve in this capacity are chosen.

Thank you for this wonderful example that you have set in extending this hand of friendship.

With Christian and Brotherly love,
