accident though I did know about your little squabble (I cannot remember exactly
how I hit the button that brought me there though). The plagiarism
charge seems valid (and he seems to have addressed it), the R E Lee thing seems
petulant, concerning the slavery issue I am ignorant having not read pastor
Wilson’s book (though at the suggestion of one I will read it), what else…
Oh, the church picture… no that is not the inside of my church. We
are in the process of changing that welcome shot since most people are a bit disappointed
when they get to our little speck of worldly insignificance. Small budget
and overzealous web designers do not mix. </span></font></p>
