<DIV>Dear Dr. Brown,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>My concern, perhaps badly expressed in my Vision 2020 post, centered on the
notion that disease and death are the consequence of Adam's sin rather than
identifying them as natural, explainable biological processes. Clearly
your understanding of sovereignty (divine) and dominion (human) inform your
professional and private life in ways beyond my comprehension.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT lang=0 face=Georgia size=3 PTSIZE="12" FAMILY="SERIF">I agree
that Christians (and, incidentally, non-Christians as
well) should stand publicly against </FONT>"hunger, war, pestilence,
bigotry. " To the litany of evils you describe, I would add
ignorance, patriarchal oppression, religious fanaticism, and moral
cowardice. Are you willing to join with me in a public
statement condemning those philosophies and behaviors as
well? </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>

<DIV>PS As a member of St. Mary's, you might urge your colleague, NSA
board member, Dr. Grauke, to consider the community enhancing model for ironing
out school/neighborhood issues that characterized recent negotiations among
the St. Mary's school board, the city, and the neighbors adjacent
to the school. No, now that I think about it, that conversation would not
be very productive. St. Mary's board members demonstrated a
respectful attitude toward the law and their neighbors - which is
markedly different from the rhetoric and behavior seeping
out of NSA. </DIV></FONT></FONT></BODY></HTML>
