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 We usually do not publish letters written in response to other letters.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 28 June to 3 July 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.

Remembering a good man

This past week I was privileged to participate in a service of thanksgiving for the life and ministry of the Very Reverend Colin Slee, OBE, at Southwark Cathedral. Listening to the tributes to Dean Slee (under the rubrics of "Laughter," Truth," "Justice," and "Hospitality") his complete integrity (and that of his family)in matters of confidence was made clear, as was his range of commitments to justice, hospitality, and laughter. We shall continue to miss him and his leadership very much.

Light perpetual keep him — and strengthen those seeking to lead the C of E from the shadows of hypocrisy and denial into the joy of compassion and inclusion.
