Perhaps, as Kurt says, "No message has ever been been censored ahead of time...", but you might like to look at message 133 of the UUCF chat list archive. You will find it missing. Perhaps it was decided that chat list readers needed to be protected from the information contained therein. Perhaps they are grateful for such protection, but I don't consider this to be action befitting a liberal church.
The missing letter can be seen at:

As usual, I believe that any responses to this message should be public -- and I will assist with this if necessary.
