[Faith-Talk] Purpose of List

[Kaden Colton]

Thank you, David for the reminder of the purpose of this list.

The shear number of emails during the past couple of days to this list was not the reason why I joined this list, like others have stated.

I have thought about leaving this list because of the recent emails being off topic for what this list was designed for. I am already supporting community ministries that are directly affected by the current election occurring in the United States. Such matters have distracted from the reasons why the people I work with wanted to come together in faith.

Regards,
Kaden Colton
