Default 45 California Churches - Open Letter (with signatures)

One of the documents that I inherited from the late brother Don Hardy was a fax copy of a May 15, 1990 OPEN LETTER FROM THE CHURCHES IN CALIFORNIA, USA.
That letter was issued following a set of four elders meetings which took place on March 9-10 in Anaheim, CA.
For me, the curious thing is, that although this letter was audaciously addressed to THE CHURCHES and to ALL THE SAINTS THROUGHOUT THE EARTH, there has to my knowledge not been any mention of it on this forum. Please correct me if I am wrong about that.

Here is a link to that letter: www.johningalls.com/45CaliforniaChurches.pdf
BTW: The table which lists the names of all 45 churches was not part of the original document, but was added by me for easy reference by readers. Additionally, the text quality of the source document was quite poor in several areas thus what is presented here is derived from OCR with careful proofreading. Enjoy!

P.S.

P.S., this occurred during a period I was not meeting with the local churches (late 1986 to mid 1993). I cannot tell you how disgusted I was by this letter. Not to mention brothers I knew personally that signed their name to the letter. If it is out of personal conviction and not due to peer pressure, what can I say? Each has their own opinion.
