Cancel culture

Dear Editor,

Thank you for the article in the May 2021 ‘How should we respond edition of en, to “cancel culture”?’ by John Stevens. I appreciate that in a short article only one aspect can be explored, and he primarily dealt with the negatives of the past in patterns of behaviour that fall short of Biblical norms and generally-held moral standards.

May I encourage John to write a similar piece which points to a response to ‘cancel culture’ which draws attention to the good things in the past. He made brief mention of this in his Churchill reference: ‘He celebrates the contribution individuals made to the progress of human civilisation’.
