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 We usually do not publish letters written in response to other letters.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 30 January to 5 February 2012

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.

About the goal, and not just the journey

I think the books discussion needs to include some books about being Christian. Some that have meant alot to me include the SSJE Rule, the von Hugel-Evelyn Underhill letters, James Alison on scapegoating and forgiveness, Walter Wink on the powers, especially his Engaging the Powers, Michael Mayne's The Enduring Melody. Then, maybe for Bibles, some translations that shook me up: Robert Alter's Wisdom Books, Everett Fox's Five Books of Moses, and the Jewish Annotated "New" Testament.

Amen, Amen, Amen, ...

You write on your news page:
"We so look forward to an era when Anglican news is not dominated by issues of gender, sex, and power."

I respond:
"Amen" seventy times seven.
