MR Bowker is wrong to say the Lib Dem-run council in Islington has over-ruled parents' wishes about the name of a new school in that London borough (Letters, November 18).
There will be a new school sponsored by the Church of England and various aspects are out for consultation, including the name.
Four names have been put forward: St Mary Magdalene, Barnsbury, Islington, and Magdalene.
While Mr Bowker is upset that the London Diocesan Board has allowed this consultation to take place, it is unfortunate that he then goes on to express his belief that the church should be critical of mixed-race relationships or same-sex marriages.
Didn't Jesus say: "Do not judge least you yourself be judged"?
