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 We usually do not publish letters written in response to other letters.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 15 to 21 April 2013

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.

The butterfly effect (in reply to this front page)

Can I ask where the picture of St. Stephen on today's cover article came from?

Thank you so much. My Easter sermon was on the butterfly effect and "our part in it." Now I know I'm not alone

Yes, your words make a difference. This week they gave this part-time priest in a small church some needed motivation to keep on keeping on! Thank you.

Always gaiters, always gaitered

The late Dean Milburn, at one time Dean of Worcester Cathedral, (UK) is noted on your 'gaitered' page as being 'always gaitered', according to your note about the obituary in the London Times. My recollection is that in the obituary the Times headlined him as 'The last of the gaitered Deans' I can't confirm that he was the last, but I can confirm, from personal experience that he was gaitered, on a day to day basis, from 1957 to 1967 or thereabouts. I was a pupil at the King's School, Worcester, closely connected with the cathedral there, and was an organ pupil for four years. I used to see the Dean daily on his way from his house in college green to the cathedral.
Hope this is of some help.
