		<description><![CDATA[On our Purpose page, we stated that in the event of a &#8220;statement of regret and reconciliation from Bob Jones University,&#8221; we would remove the evidentiary articles that were on this site.

		<title>Help with Shipping Costs</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We at please-reconcile.org have been extremely focused on keeping our motives, attitudes and actions as pure as possible, so as to not detract from the message of the Open Letter.  Because of this approach, the de facto leadership group has self-funded the website and infrastructure.  However, as we go to print on Nov 19 [...]]]></description>
