Letters to AO

EVERY WEEK WE PUBLISH a selection of letters we receive in response to something you've read at Anglicans Online. Stop by and have a look at what other AO readers are thinking.

Alas, we cannot publish every letter we receive. And we won't publish letters that are anonymous, hateful, illiterate, or otherwise in our judgment do not benefit the readers of Anglicans Online. We usually do not publish letters written in response to other letters. We edit letters to conform with standard AO house style for punctuation, but we do not change, for example, American spelling to conform to Canadian orthography. On occasion we'll gently edit letters that are too verbose in their original form. Email addresses are included when the authors give permission to do so.

If you'd like to respond to a letter whose author does not list an email, you can send your response to Anglicans Online and we'll forward it to the writer.

Letters from 31 January to 6 February 2011

Like all letters to the editor everywhere, these letters express the opinions of the writers and not Anglicans Online. We publish letters that we think will be of interest to our readers, whether we agree with them or not. If you'd like to write a letter of your own, click here.

Care to book a table?

Last week's letter included: 'And when we meet to browse again, it shall be in the crowded aisles in the Bookshop at the End of the World'.

Love it! Can't wait!

More room, more books

With reference to the January 31 message: I am a bibliophile. I have loved books for as long as I remember. I do not remember a time when I did not read. As a child I read mysteries and mythology. I branched into historical novels, in addition to mysteries and mythology.

I have something like 3,000 books, in spite of the fact I have pared down my library frequently — every time we move, in fact and as a clergyperson that is often! — and still all that does is make room for more purchases.

I loved this article. And I, too, await the day when we all meet in that book shop-and-pub at the end of it all. See you there!

Anyone know where to find a saint?

Much taken by the quotation from MS Shepherd "The best sort of Christian education is knowing a saint", I have been trying to track down the source. Alas, even Google has failed me. Any shared wisdom will be gratefully received.

Shalom,

Ed. note: Nor had we luck in finding the source of this quotation. We suspect it was in one of Shepherd's essays connected with Christian education. We'll hope one of AO's readers can assist.
