Hello Officer Davis,

Well I've been calling that number daily as told.

Today was notified I was to report for drug testing.

And I had every intention reporting for this random drug testing every two weeks court ordered by our Honorable Judge Matthew McCoyd  added to the Terms and Conditions of Probation Agreement resulting from "THAT TRIAL!" January 30, 2017, in addition to  the 30 days jail time resulting from my probation revocation hearing February 12th, 2018.

Had every intention showing up for this court ordered drug testing, just so we could provide the evidence our Magistrate Court of DeKalb County needing enabling them proving once and for all that I am indeed a user of illegal drugs; even if testing positive...only...for crystal.meths; an addiction having  already confessed, and been confessing ever since that disastrous Thanksgiving 2010 putting into effect the only option able seeing...available... me a chance possible having a future in which I might be able living a life ...content; if not ever happy.

The reason for me not showing up for today's testing; 

Except for the one hundred percent equity owning my home paid in full with money recieving yearly as part of my father and  mother's estate planning under the guidance of Probate Lawyer Jim McKenzie, also members of our United Methodist Church Prescott Arkansas (100% pure Methodist laundered patrimony) and  some acres of  trees in  Arkansas; I'm broke. Outright, flat broke.   Although not the same as saying poor.

Have no more money/cash in bank.  Therefore no checking account.  No credit cards either; although I do have the choice of running up a dept.  

I do have a check from my mother written for $1000.00 out of the most recent $14,000.00 gift check having refused.

Can't having trouble find a place that will cash third party personal checks.  Did find one that would personal check $200.00 or less; minus a 10% fee 

Anyway, the bottom line is that I have no way of paying for this test I know will test positive for the meths usage.  No money able paying the $3:00 for parking!  No money paying for gas.  No money  paying for anything unless start pawning items from my home; or accepting one of these cash offers from investors interested in purchasing the property as it.

No money even for the crystal meths addiction. 

Bottom line.  Our Honorable Judge Matthew McCoyd had no right adding the random drug testing when considering how a dialogue exchange between and the Senior Pastor Alice Rogers of Glenn Memorial ended up having me served a letter of criminal trespass by Emory Police.

As I've already informed our Honorable Judge Matthew McCoyd along with Assistant Solicitor General Kemp (Methodist!) our arraignment nearing this past Tuesday March 13th, after we first scheduling the trial for April 12, 2018 a hearing :  "Also!  I'm needing the court reminded...THAT...I'm still a crystal meths addict; routinely being drug tested without the issue having been properly address. That we should  have a positive test coming up soon." 

I do understand you have to do your job.  But is it really necessary being so formal with getting a warrant for my arrest just because I was unable showing up for a drug test I'm confessing will be positive.  Having Robin Clark as a former member of St. Mark UMC , now co-chairs Glenn Memorial  Rainbow Advocacy Group along with her husband Bill Clark, may I at least have tomorrow a chance finding someone with our Glenn Memorial Methodist Church letting me signing over to them this check from an eighty-seven year old rural Arkansan Methodist widow having a self-avowed practicing homosexual, self-avowed practicing Atheist,  self-avowed practicing Crystal Meths Addict?  

Also, having just received an email form Clerks office saying they have copies waiting for me picking up once a $9:99 payment cost of producing these copies; may I a chance seeing just what court hearings they were able retrieving copies.  Really do need a chance, at least, hearing how much of anything I'm having to saying...discernible!

It's getting late.  I'm tired.  Lots of other email wanting sending others.  Still absolutely no support from anyone a single cause of mine.

I'm going to bed.

Sincerely yours,.

Bill Clark
Director of Political Affairs
Founded in 1956, the Georgia Trial Lawyers Association (GTLA) is dedicated to strengthening and upholding Georgia’s civil justice system and protecting the rights of Georgia citizens and consumers. 

GTLA works in the legislative, political and media arenas to ensure that Georgians know and understand the importance of their rights to justice and to make certain that these rights, which are at the very core of what it means to be American, are safeguarded and protected.
Today, news abounds of powerful interests, like big insurance companies, drug companies and other large corporations, delaying or refusing to pay fair and just insurance claims, producing unsafe products, polluting our environment, defrauding employees and shareholders, and putting American families and small businesses at risk. These same powerful interests dominate our political process and demand that state legislatures all around the nation restrict citizens’ access to our courts. These restrictions are unjust.
Our forefathers established the Civil Justice System as the foundation for a fair and just society. Built into the United States Constitution and the Bill of Rights, the Civil Justice System guarantees a fair and independent judiciary and the right of any citizen to seek justice by a jury of their peers. Trial Lawyers are the guardians of these inalienable rights as they represent deserving individuals who have been harmed by the negligence of others, and together they seek justice. Beyond seeking fair compensation for a client, Trial Lawyers have ensured accountability from the most powerful of interests in the only realm where all parties are viewed as equals—our courts. From landmark litigation that removed flammable children’s pajamas from the shelves of stores to demanding fair insurance reimbursement after the tragedy of Hurricane Katrina, Trial Lawyers represent average people who seek fairness and justice.
The Georgia Trial Lawyers Association (GTLA) is committed to preserving the Civil Justice System.

Rainbow Advocacy


In 2011, after a group of retired United Methodist bishops wrote a letter urging the removal of language from the Book of Discipline that discriminates against homosexuals, Glenn formed The Common Table to prayerfully research, review, and discuss feelings surrounding the retired bishops letter. After almost a year of dialogue together, The Common Table drafted a statement of support and Glenn established the Rainbow Advocacy Group to discern its continuing role regarding the issue of homosexuality in the church.

Rainbow Advocacy worked diligently to educate Glenn about the Reconciling Ministries Network and the possibility of becoming a Reconciling Church. Glenn hosted speakers and lecturers on the topic, held a three-week book study, and offered four listening sessions as avenues for conversation and discussion.

In October of 2014, Glenn held a Church Conference to vote on becoming a member of the Reconciling Ministries Network. The vote passed by 87%. It was quite obvious from the turnout of our membership for this important decision, and by the speakers who spoke both in favor and in opposition to the motion, that the life and ministry of Glenn is a central concern and commitment to every person gathered.

Glenn is, has been and will continue to be a place of openness and welcome as we strive to make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world. May God guide us into the future as we seek to be a community of faith dedicated to loving God and loving neighbor.

For more information about the Rainbow Advocacy Group or if you would like to get involved, contact Bill and Robin Clark.

Reconciling Ministries Network is...


Reconciling Ministries Network is an organization made of primarily United Methodist individuals. Its work is guided by the following core principles:

Spiritually Grounded
Reconciling Ministries Network is committed to the justice imperative of the Gospel and grounding its ministries in the Wesleyan practice of personal and social holiness.  RMN is committed to utilizing inclusive language and respectfully recognizing the diverse approaches to scripture, tradition, reason, and experience of the congregations and communities with whom it relates.
Reconciliation
Reconciling Ministries Network is committed to reconciliation that leads to the healing and transformation of animosity into honest relationships that respect all God’s children. Reconciliation is a profound ongoing individual and collective commitment from all those affected to establishing new relationships embedded in mutual recognition. Authentic reconciliation requires the naming and the speaking of truth to create relationships and communities grounded in peace with justice.
Naming Privilege, Ending Oppression
Reconciling Ministries Network aspires to fulfill our baptismal covenant to recognize and utilize our privileges to resist oppression in whatever form it presents itself in our movement, church, and world.  RMN has a commitment to ending institutional oppression in all its forms by working at the intersections of oppression and focusing on an ongoing examination of internal processes and external actions at all levels including its selection of issues and organizing strategies. Further, RMN will strive to create beloved community, as imagined by Dr. Martin Luther King, by being vigilant in all its activities about those forces that create wedges between us, with particular attention to racism, transphobia, and the history of colonialism.
Integrating Sexuality with Spirituality











Reconciling Ministries Network believes that human sexuality is a good gift from God.  RMN is committed to supporting the integration of healthy, loving expressions of sexuality and spirituality for everyone. We celebrate the sexuality and spirituality of same and opposite gender loving persons and pledge to provide resources that lead to a deeper understanding of God’s precious gift.
Relationships
Reconciling Ministries Network acts in hospitality across theological divides and is committed to the creation of community, interconnectedness, and deep relationships.
Systems Change
Reconciling Ministries Network is committed to policy change and the creation of long-term solutions and practices that create full inclusion in The United Methodist Church and our broader society.  RMN works for full equality in membership, ordination, and marriage for God’s lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender children.
Stewardship
Reconciling Ministries Network is committed to the stewardship of its organizational resources—the people, time, talent, and treasures—that God provides for transformation of our church and world.
Organizational Authenticity
Reconciling Ministries Network is committed to operating in a way that mirrors the change we hope to create in the world.  Towards that end, we commit to honesty, integrity, excellence, equality, justice, dignity, civility, diversity, inclusion, and creativity.  This includes continuous soul searching in all organizational practices and the provision of ongoing continuing education to all staff and board members to enhance skills and develop growth.
Commitment to Intersectional Justice
Reconciling Ministries Network will frame its work from the optic of justice, inclusion, and liberation for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer persons. To sharpen that optic, RMN will apply an intersectional lens to focus on precise points of convergence between LGBTQ oppression other forms of oppression including racism, sexism, patriarchy, and gender inequality. Furthermore, for the purposes of organizational staffing, board membership, and the training, equipping, and support of new leadership, RMN will continue to uphold persons of color, young adults, and trans persons.

"What does it mean for someone gradurating Magna Cum Laude?

Rev. Dr. P. Alice Rogers comes to Glenn Memorial following eleven years on faculty at The Candler School of Theology of Emory University where she served as Associate Professor in the Practice of Practical Theology and Director of the Contextual Education and Teaching Parish Programs. Her commitment to both the church and the academy led her to explore more deeply into the part contextual education plays in theological formation and enabled her to work closely with students preparing for ministry. Her publications include: Equipping the Saints: Best Practices in Contextual Theological Education (Pilgrim Press, 2010) and Contextualizing Theological Education (Pilgrim Press, 2008).

Prior to her appointment at Candler, Alice served congregations in the North Georgia Conference for seventeen years including East Point First UMC, Comer UMC, Jackson UMC and Aldersgate UMC. Active in the North Georgia Conference, Alice has been elected to the last four Jurisdictional and General Conferences of the United Methodist Church. Alice was reared in Conyers, Georgia where her family attended Conyers First UMC and are still "tenters" at Salem Campmeeting in Newton County, Georgia. Both of these faith communities were critical in Alice's formation for ordained ministry. Alice received her Bachelor of Arts from Converse College in 1983, with honors in English and Religion, her Master of Divinity from Duke University in 1986 and her Doctor of Ministry from Emory University in 1998 where she graduated Magna Cum Laude.


Her hobbies include hiking, fly fishing, and cycling.



The Doctor of Ministry (D.Min.) degree is a professional doctorate which may be earned by a minister of religion who is concurrently engaged in some form of ministry. Under Association of Theological Schools in the United States and Canada (ATS) standards, programs must require matriculants to have earned the degree Master of Divinity (M.Div.) or its equivalent and to have engaged in no fewer than three years of full time ministry, though some programs require more. The ATS requires students to complete at least one year of coursework followed by the completion of the doctoral dissertation or research project. Normally, the degree requires somewhere between three and six years to complete. The degree's purpose is to "enhance the practice of ministry for persons who hold the MDiv or its educational equivalent and who have engaged in substantial ministerial leadership."[1] As such, Doctor of Ministry concentrations vary by institution and include, but are not limited to: applied theologyevangelismpastoral counseling or the psychology of religionhomileticsspiritual formationethics, church growth, church leadership, and apologetics.

NARRATIVE
On Monday, November 27, 2017 at approximately 1313 hours I met with COMPLAINANT, the pastor of the Glenn Memorial Church, in reference to feeling threatened by James Avery. I met with COMPLAINANT in her office, where she advised me that she is feeling unsafe and threatened by the attendance of James Avery at her services.

COMPLAINANT stated that beginning in August of last year she allowed Mr. Avery to attend services. She stated that she was aware of Mr. Avery’s consistently atypical behavior, and always had other parishioners with him to make sure he did not create a problem. COMPLAINANT stated that recently he has been emailing both her and other church members often, and becomes angered when he does not receive an answer, or does not receive the answer he desires. COMPLAINANT provided me with a couple of emails which I scanned and submitted with this report.

COMPLAINANT also informed me that WITNESS at St. Mark’s United Methodist Church criminally trespassed James Avery from that church for concerning behavior. I contacted WITNESS via email and she summarized her church’s dealings with Avery. I scanned and submitted my conversation with WITNESS, as well as a copy of the criminal trespass warning they issued to Avery.

COMPLAINANT informed me that last night, November 26, 2017, she was holding a five o’clock service at Glenn Church. She stated that Mr. Avery stood in the middle of the aisle near the rear of the church filming her as she delivered her sermon.



  

COMPLAINANT also stated that Mr. Avery has recently come to believe that COMPLAINANT and the church are responsible for the county ordinance violations he received for the signage in his yard on Mason Mill Rd. COMPLAINANT stated that she is aware that Mr. Avery uses methamphetamine, due to his own admission. COMPLAINANT also stated that he cornered a youth in church the other morning while speaking to the juvenile. COMPLAINANT stated that the youth informed her that Mr. Avery did not say anything inappropriate, but COMPLAINANT no longer feels comfortable having Mr. Avery at the church around youth.



COMPLAINANT made it clear that she feels that her safety is threated by his being on the property.

COMPLAINANT stated that she had someone walk her to her car after last night’s service because she believed Mr. Avery would have followed her to her vehicle.

Sgt. Randall was also present for the meeting, and informed COMPLAINANT that we would show a greater police presence at any time she requested. I provided COMPLAINANT with a card and case number

Supplement Narrative

I spoke with the complainant on 11/28/2017 at 1610 hours. She advised she was concerned with the recent behavior of James Avery when he is attending church at Glenn Memorial United Methodist Church. She had detailed her concerns in this report to Ofc. Massee on 11/27/2017.

She advised Ofc. Massee that another Metro Atlanta Methodist Church, St. Mark, has issued a criminal trespass warning to Avery in the past. COMPLAINANT and I discussed the possibility of a criminal trespass warning prohibiting Avery from attending services at Glenn Memorial. I asked that she send me an email detailing her concerns and expressing her wishes to pursue a criminal trespass warning.

 I received that email on 11/29/2017 at 0950 hours. I discussed the email and COMPLAINANT'S request with Capt. B. Buchtinec and he advised me to meet with Avery and issue an Emory-wide criminal trespass warning. On 11/29/2017 at 1444 hours, Lt. J.Schmahl and I met with James Edward Avery at his home at 1840 Mason Mill Rd., Decatur, GA. Avery was presented with a written criminal trespass warning for all Emory properties. Avery acknowledged receipt of and signed the warning. He was given a copy of the document. The interaction with Avery was documented via mine and Lt. Schmahl's body cameras. Avery also video recorded the contact with him.

 A copy of the criminal trespass warning was uploaded into the other media folder and the original was placed in the criminal trespass warning files in the communications division.

This case is CLOSED.

Good afternoon James,

That date to report last week for a drug screen was advised by the system in error…  however, please keep calling as you have been everyday as directed.  Also, Mr. Avery as per your sentence you will also be required to pay for the drug screens.  If there continues to be a balance for the drug screens we will have to go back to court for non-compliance of the terms and conditions.  At this time you do owe for one screen being $22.12.  As your officer Mr. Avery I urge and encourage you to remain abstinent from the use of any illegal drugs. 

Thank you sir….
