Dear Editor,

I am largely in agreement with Ranald Macaulay’s concern over the prevalent evangelical tendency to shun engagement with society and its worrisome tendencies (en June ‘Evangelicalism in Crisis’). Yet I believe that his readiness to point the finger at European Pietism as providing an explanation of the origin of this tendency does not bear careful scrutiny.

Dear Editor,

Ray Porter’s obituary notice of Dorothy Marx (February en) brought back distant childhood memories for me. She and I shared the same piano teacher, the redoubtable Enid Bulow of Sutton, though Dorothy was 15 years my senior. She was a far more accomplished pianist than I ever became, as Mrs Bulow took great pride in her star pupil being awarded an LRAM (Licentiate of the Royal Academy of Music) diploma.
