Let me express my sincerest apologies on behalf of the planning committee of the forum to our stakeholders of the faith-based organizations for the unpardonable omission committed in your delayed invitation to this forum.

I'm aware that the omission was very speedily remedied, but you still deserve an unqualified apology for this oversight.

And since you are the purveyors of God's mercy on earth, I'm sure that you are forgiving us.

Thank you very much and we know you are important stakeholders because you own some of the schools, and so this educational forum is important to see how we carry everybody together.
