Dear Editor,
Regarding the ‘very smelly elderly gent’ (August en, p.16), up here in N.E. Scotland we had a similar situation.
I am not sure how Gordon, our gent, was treated by his church, but at the annual Keswick-type conference in his town (Buckie) he attended all the meetings and people struggled to sit near him. Also at the daily lunches he would arrive late and sit on his own to avoid embarrassment. However the highlight of the week was when the wife of a local church leader sat and chatted to him while he was having his lunch. Practical, loving Christianity.
