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.
"The Council of Bishops of The United Methodist Church is pleased to
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.
