The following letter has been received as a fax in several parishes of the Diocese of Los Angeles, including the parishes of those named. I have blotted out the names of those being threatened, so as not to add to their jeopardy. The sender did not reveal her or his identity. My friend Malcolm Boyd came out years ago. -- Lutibelle/Louie

Dear Brothers:

It is down to the line for those of us who believe in Jesus Christ and the Bible.

The homosexuals must leave the church.

Make sure that the lezzie priest XXXX XXXXX never holds another church job. (She lives with a woman.)

Get rid of homosexual priest XXXX XXXXX XXXXX. (He lives with a man.)

Gid [sic] rid of homosexual priest XXXX X. XXXXX. (He lives with a man.)

Burn the homosexual priest XXXXXX X. XXXXX. (He lives with a man.)

Burn the homosexual prayer book "Are You Running with Me Jesus?" Get it out of libraries, churches and homes. Bring the author Malcolm Boyd to trial. (He lives with a man. He is 75. Get him before he dies.)

Do not give homosexuals the sanctity of same-sex unions. Let them go to sex clubs until they repent.

Do not allow homosexuals in our seminaries or ordain them. Keep the church holy for God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Ghost.

Keep sinners outside the church. The Gospel is not for them unless they change. The Gospel is for us who are disciples. With the help of the Anglican Communion, we will evangelize the world for Christ.

In the love of Jesus Chrits.
