BUENA PARK, Calif., April 11 /Christian Newswire/ -- The following is the text of a letter from Dr. Wiley S. Drake, Pastor:

FIRST SOUTHERN BAPTIST CHURCH OF BUENA PARK
DR. WILEY S. DRAKE, PASTOR
6801 Western Avenue, Buena Park, CA 90621

2nd Vice President 2006/2007
SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION

Mr. Don Imus:

After hearing all the up-roar over what you said on the radio I decided to communicate with you.

I have heard many say that what you did can not be forgotten or forgiven, especially from many who call themselves religious and Christians.

I am a Christian and an officer in the Southern Baptist Convention, and I am here to tell you that this can be forgiven and forgotten.

The Bible says that if we confess our sins to God He forgives, and removes them as far as the east is from the west, and He remembers them no more.

I certainly do not approve of what you said, and in retrospect it appears that neither do you.

Even though I am not your pastor I would be glad to meet with you and pray with you and witness your confession to God, and help you claim forgiveness, that indeed will be forgotten by God.

What those who were offended will do is of little importance when you compare it to what God can do for you through Jesus Christ.

I have prayed for you daily since I saw the news report and will continue to do so.

If you feel like you would like to communicate back with me my 24 hr cell is
1-714-865-8132.

Pastor Wiley Drake
