Recently I wrote about the Values Voters Conference, where a racially-offensive product was sold. Focus on the Family was a major sponsor of this event and I expressed to them my outrage at their participation.

I just received the following response from them:

Dear Beth:

Thank you for contacting Focus on the Family. Although we value your writing to this ministry, the nature of your correspondence makes it necessary for Focus on the Family Action to respond. It’s my privilege to get back to you.

We appreciate the time you’ve taken to share your thoughts regarding reports that a product called “Obama Waffles” was sold at the Values Voter Summit. Given the concerns you expressed, we encourage you to read a message Jim Daly, our President and CEO, communicated about our regret over this incident.

Thanks again for writing, Beth. Your willingness to come directly to us with your reservations and to allow us to address this matter means a great deal. Grace and peace to you!

CitizenLink: A Message from Jim Daly, Focus Action President and CEO

I appreciate their response and their regret over this incident. Though I still frequently do not agree with them, I do appreciate the personal response I received.
