Dear Mr.
Black:
Re: Illegal Use of
Church Name
It has come to our
attention that you have been publishing items under the name of the Seventh-day
Adventist Church without church approval. We kindly ask that you refrain from
doing so.
We understand that you
have published documents stating that they are of the "Bebold for Jesus Christ
Ministry of the Seventh-day Adventist Church." We are not aware of any such
ministry of our church.
The Seventh-day
Adventist Church takes very seriously any use of its name without its
authorization. The name is an important identifier of our church to the
community and for that reason we cannot sanction its use by those purporting to
represent the church when in fact they are not.
We trust that you will
abide by our request in not using the terms, "Seventh-day Adventist Church," or
"Adventist Church", or "Adventist", in your publications - and that you will
destroy those documents in your possession and/or control that you have so
labelled.
Thank-you for your
anticipated co-operation.
Sincerely,
[signature]
Barry W. Bussey
Legal Counsel
