We, the undersigned Petitioners, express our concern regarding the circumstances leading up to, and the process resulting in Session accepting the resignation, under duress, of Suzanne Baresich, from her longstanding position as Director of Music at St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church, Islington, and request that the West Presbytery conduct a full and transparent inquiry into the matter.
I have been reading through your messages and the deep sense of betrayal following Suzanne's departure is clear. Many of you have shared your own memories of her work and why this process feels so wrong. We are working to ensure the Presbytery understands that this is not just about a resignation but about the way our church community is being treated.

Seeing this level of support for Suzanne shows how deeply she touched our community and how much we value the truth. I am moved by the way so many of you are refusing to let her story be ignored.

Suzanne put her heart into that choir for years. the way she was pushed out is shameful and the congregation deserves to know the truth about what happened behind closed doors.

THIS IS WRONG. Suzanne did so much for our church music program. Session needs to stop hiding and answer some questions.
