Better reporting
In the last few days, and quite likely in response to the prayers of many, there have been some excellent and balanced religion reports in the Sydney Morning Herald.
They're still not publishing my letters though.
Dear editor,
Linda Morris's excellent report on the doings of Sydney's Anglican synod poses a fundamental and knotty problem for those secularists who believe the God of the Bible is fading away into irrelevancy. Sydney Anglican churches continue to grow at a rate unmatched anywhere in the country and outstripping population growth.
The message that we can be forgiven, and be confident of our relationship with God through Jesus Christ, continues to have enduring appeal. It also speaks volumes for the grace and sovereignty of God.
Yours sincerely, (etc.)
