Dear Mr. Dervaes:
On behalf of Mr. Joseph W. Tkach, I wish to acknowledge the letters from Mignon, (JCD, JMD, AND, JRD), and yourself dated June 12th. Your expressions of sympathy and your prayers are much appreciated.
Other comments in the letters, however, give the impression that you believe Mr. Tkach’s illness as well as the schisms in the Church may be due to God’s punishment because the Church did not accept your theories about the Laodicean Era. I would caution you not to draw unwarranted conclusions. Let us remember that Job’s friends all thought they knew he was being afflicted by God for some awful sins. Obviously they were all wrong—as are those who make the same sorts of assumptions about current events.
We are grateful to God for the deeper understanding and appreciation of the gospel He has been giving us. There are always trials, but God always brings us through as we rely on him in faith and strive to please him.
Sincerely,
[Signature on file]
David G. Hunsberger
