IT'S fair to say of the Press letters pages that "all human life is here", but last Thursday things took a frightening and sinister turn.
M Bowker's letter, while appearing at first glance just to be the usual reactionary rant from the hard-of-thinking right wing, sent a shiver down my spine when I reached the phrase about "Leftist" clergy turning "a blind eye to mixed-race relationships".
I hope this was just bad phrasing from M Bowker, but it does read as though he/she thinks that different racial groups should not have relationships, and that this would be somehow unchristian.
Please clarify your position, M Bowker. If that is indeed what you think, you should be seeking help with your problem before associating with decent people, or arranging to emigrate because such views are not welcome in this country.
I'm sure that most Christians would also want to distance themselves from having such views associated with them.
