Dear Mr. and Mrs. Perkins,

As you may know, the first page of the GRACE brochure is a statement of Faith made up of an introduction and six points. (copy enclosed) Please note the last sentence of the introduction, "...we believe the following articles of faith and principles for Christian education to be a true and necessary foundation for ALL our activities."

We make no other claims than the claims of Jesus Christ and His Gospel. We exist to assist home schooling parents with academics, ALL in the light of Holy Scripture. All of our teachers are committed to our Statement of Faith (a summary of the Historic Reformed Faith) and they are encouraged to be a testimony to that faith in all their teacherings and interaction with the students.

Biblical Chritianity is diametrically opposed to any form of wicca, Druidism, witchcraft or any "ism" which worships the creation rather than the Creator.

We appreciate your assurance that Alex will not speak of her belief or interest in wicca or any other anti-Christian religions to any of our students in the classroom, in the hall, or on the premises of Seventh Reformed Church. The Board feels this is a ncessity for continued attendance.

All parents (including the Perkins) who send their children to GRACE must be assured and confident that all the activities of GRACE will accurately reflect that which is stated in our brochure - in other words, parents expect a true Christian pholosophy and environment in all things, no exceptions.

We realize you probably hold some differing views regarding our statement of faith, philosophy, and general school procedures. If you should choose to remove Alex from all of her classes within the next two weeks, we will refund your tuition in full.

We write this letter to you with humble hearts, trusting that you will at least see our point of view, even if you disagree with some aspects. We are totally committed to Reformed Christianity and hope that our program will be a blessing to many students and parents.

If you have any further questions, please call me or any of our board members.

Sincerely in Christ,
by recommendation of GRACE board
Jay Reenders
