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 We usually do not publish letters written in response to other letters.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 10 to 16 June 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.

I thank God

Your front page item this week does make sad reading. I thank God for the group of friends I have at church. We go to the early morning service at church and then after the after-service tea and snacks in the interval between services we go out for coffee and breakfast together. We keep in touch during the week by texting and email and the occasional meal out when there's something to celebrate. When there's a problem we are a source of help for each other.

We are the most regular attenders in a small congregation and are a mixture of couples and singles, some of us expatriates living abroad and some of us locals, and I am sure that has a lot to do with why the dynamic works for us.

God is good to us.
