To: F.M. Flokstra, M. Thalen, J. VanLaar and J. VanTil

Dear brothers:

This is in response to your letter dated April 12th, 2006. What me miss in your letter is any kind of engagement with the response given by the consistory to your first letter of October 4th, 2005. While the consistory did not give a line-by-line response to the many requests of your first letter, we did endeavour to deal with them all in a wholistic manner. Any further dialogue with you about the matters you have raised will be dependent on a proper interaction with the consistory's letter dated February 4th, 2006.

Yours in Christ,

For the consistory,

J. Dykstra,

R. Schouten
