Dear Members Of The Superior Order [The Traditional Name For The Leadership Of The Episcopal Church. Really, That's Not Sarcasm.]


As you can see from above [click to enlarge], the President of the United States has taken as strong a stand as is diplomatically possible in the case of Pastor Nadarkhani's sentence of execution in Iran.  And good for him, too.  Since it is no secret that the Superior Order favors the current president and his policies, usually through reflective Episcopal Church polity and in official statements and press releases, would you now please issue a similar statement in opposition to this potential martyrdom?  Thanks.

Your friend,
Rob
