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 We usually do not publish letters written in response to other letters.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 the week of 17 to 23 August 2015

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.

There are often comments about our front-page letters on the Anglicans Online Facebook page. You might like to have a look.

Forgotten memorial

I was astonished to see that no mention was made of the passing of John Scott in this week's news page. He was an exponent and practitioner - to the highest possible standard - of English Church Music, on both sides of the Atlantic, at St Paul's Cathedral, London and at St Thomas', Fifth Avenue, NYC. A towering giant in his field both as an organist and as a choirmaster. One would think that some recognition is in order.

We regret the oversight of inclusion of the death of this influential and talented musican who has contributed greatly to the Anglican musical tradition. Mention of Scott's passing has been included in this week's New Centre.
