To O ur Dear Brothers a nd S is te rs in th e People of Hope,After 14 years of serving as a Coordinator in the People of Hope, I find myself in seriousdisagreement with the present positions of the leadership with regards to the following:
1. As to th e depth and extent of the negative psychological, emotional and spiritualimpact the community has had on many individuals over the years.
2. The leadership position regarding the relationship with Arch Bishop McCarrick,specifically, the refusal to change a system that exhibits too much control overindividuals lives and whose leadership has no accountability outside of itself. Anumber of sources has confirmed that Bishop Cordez believes Arch BishopMcCarrick's requests are reasonable and well within his jurisdiction.
These disagreements in no w ay detract from the wonderful blessings the People of Hope bas beento us and to hundreds of others over the years. They are however, serious enough for us to takea 6 month leave of absence from involvement in the Community.Weare making this decision because we are "for" the community not against it, and believe thatradical reform is necessary in the best interest of, and possibly for the survival of th e People ofHope.Freda and I apologize for any hurt that this decision may cause in any of you. Be assured of ourco ntin ued lo ve an d affection for all of you.We would be happy to talk privately to any individual or couple about our views.Advent is a season of hope. Let us hope together that any disagreements w e have can either beresolved or Jived with in a spirit of peace, love and joy as is befitting all good Christians.
W e rem ain your friends in Christ,
Lew and Freda Ferris
