Letter for April 6, 2006

Thanks for editorial

Well, Jim, you have done it again. That is, written a piece about an important topic of interest to Virginia Baptists-one which has two very definite sides-and you have avoided being mean-spirited, or even unkind. What are we going to do with you in this day of hard-hitting judgmental journalism?

Thank you for your recent editorial concerning the North American Mission Board and the two news articles related to it; this is a subject which will not go away soon. We have been on vacation several weeks and I have seen other news services report on this. Your writing has helped me become better prepared to attend the Southern Baptist Convention in June.

I appreciate the balanced approach you take to denominational issues.

Peggy Sawyers, Monterey
