i don't know about you. i've been getting a slew of emails asking me to email president elect obama about some of the things he has promised in his campaign or things to consider. i suppose after the campaign he ran, an open source campaign, he is more accessible than any candidate before. or at least it seems that way. so it is no surprise that our methodist bishops council has sent president elect obama an official letter.
join with the chorus of United States citizens and international
partners in congratulating you on your election as the 44th President
of the United States of America," the letter opened.
"We applaud your willingness to articulate a vision of change for the
United States that is based on hope for all the people, especially
those who are disinherited and disenfranchised. We are also encouraged
by your desire to construct a landscape for the United States that is
inclusive of all people. We affirm your desire for a more peaceful and
just world."
i hope this letter fares better than the last bishop's letter to the president.

counter productivity of denominational official statements
it’s in the same vein as what you’re talking about.
