LOCAL PAPER TITLES LETTER 'THE BIBLE IS CLEAR'

The following letter from your curate appeared in Thursday's Sheffield Telegraph with this title:

The Bible is clear

FOLLOWING your report on interfaith week: whilst it is good to establish good relations with people of other faiths, it would be most unfortunate if Anglican clergy taking part in interfaith celebrations were to give the false impression that all religions lead to God.

They don't. The Bible is clear that Jesus Christ is 'the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through him' (John 14v6).


Of course it is the sub-editor who gets the credit for the title. But by God's grace this does show that writing a letter to a secular local newspaper does allow an Evangelical Christian a chance to set the agenda to a degree. If you have taken the trouble to write, and the letter is polite and to the point and therefore publishable, the paper can't be rude about it!
