Gerry,

You have now admitted that you have judged Dr. Packer's motives for his involvement in ECT, etc. Are you privy to something that I'm not? I have personally spoken to him face-to-face; have you? Have you even read his publicly published article which explained why he was involved in deliberations with the Roman State Church? If not, then I must ask you, On what basis do have you determined that his motives are akin to being "a friend with the world"? As I wrote previously, what he has told me and written publicly, I personally find wanting. But I can assure you that it there isn't even a hint of him being "a friend to the world".

If your actual intent was/is a genuine concern for him, then may similar intent, suggest that you find a better way of expressing it than you have? I seriously doubt there are many who have read your remarks who understood them to have been written out of a brotherly concern for Dr. Packer.
