Dear Sir,
In Iain Clement’s letter (June en) concerning the need for open air preachers to be gracious (with which I agree entirely ) he also states: ‘It is important that those who feel called to this work are gifted, … and, importantly, are sent by and under the authority of a local church.’
In an ideal world this should be the case, but the evangelical church has, I believe, failed to fulfil the demands he sets forth.
