On behalf of Pastoral Administration, I want to go on record as saying that we are very pleased with YOU's increasing emphasis on spiritual orientation. We've been deeply pleased to see the attention to the development of character, obedience to God, the establishment and maintenance of standards of conduct, etc. that YOU has been actively fostering among the youth of the Church. We also wanted to make it clear that Pastoral Administration totally supports both the policy and emphasis of YOU and that we expect all Field Pastors to do the same. Of particular concern is YOU's policy requiring Sabbath observance as a condition of membership in YOU. Over the years, a number of young people in the Church have made considerable sacrifice in order to keep the Sabbath.
