Dear Editor,

I would like to thank you for publishing the balanced review by Tony Wilkinson of the book Island Aflame [en January]. I feel grieved, though, at the subtitle that Tom Lennie chose to give it. I am reminded of the words of our late Queen on the Prince Harry situation: ‘Recollections may differ’. That was after seven months, not 70 years.

Dear Editor,

Thank you for publishing the article from a non-conformist, addressed to many Anglicans. The person writes seeking to be a good neighbour. It is evident they are trying to be friendly with their comments. In the same spirit of conversation, here is an offer of a cup of tea and a gentle, but firm, response.

Dear Editor,

I read with interest Josh Moody’s view that the West is at a tipping point.  Sadly, I believe the West has long passed that point.  For years in the US, Christians have aligned themselves with the Republican Party rather than the Democrats, presumably because they felt there was more hope in politics than in God. In Britain, the Christian Institute has successfully garnered funding at a time when missions struggle to get sufficient for their needs. This is not to cast aspersions on the Institute, which does a fine job, but it does make me think that British Christians are more interested in preserving their disappearing public presence and protection than in promoting the gospel of Christ, which is the only hope for turning the tables, as it always was. Europe has lost its hold on the Biblical truths rescued by the reformers, and we have to look to places where the church is persecuted to see growth!
