Your clergy and vestry need to hear from you, in order to gauge the impact on their fiscal plans and to craft a means by which they can honor your request not to contribute to the Diocese.</div><div>For many of you, including those at Christ Church, your vestries are formulating next year's budget and planning on changes for 2016. Time is of the essence to communicate your concerns to your clergy and vestry, so please take time today and write your clergy and vestry members to explain your intentions.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div><br clear="all"><div><div class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr">Gibson Prichard<div>Nashville, TN</div><div><a href="mailto:gibson@prichard.tv" target="_blank">gibson@prichard.tv</a></div></div></div></div>
