I am a Catholic, but there are many things that Christians need to hold given that we share so much in our faith and the secular agenda is so big today.<br /><br />Robert<br />loveundefiled.blogspot.comAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12663576694151671097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17617194.post-31013475250784946622009-09-30T10:27:58.138+01:002009-09-30T10:27:58.138+01:00I do not buy the ET regularly, but I have read the...I do not buy the ET regularly, but I have read the Oct ET. <br /><br />I know the ET in the past has - by the use of misleading & inaccurate information - painted a certain London church in a negative light. This problem lasted for several years - and I don't think the ET has put the record straight. <br /><br />So their current article is not surprising.<br /><br />Jenson LimEvangelical bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16214459055989401079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17617194.post-76098375150375479112009-09-28T11:56:10.567+01:002009-09-28T11:56:10.567+01:00My political views basically make me a part of the...My political views basically make me a part of the "religious right". <br />While I would not want organisations to simply endorse one party, I don't have a problem with pointing out the fact that sometimes one party is better than another. For example, <a href="http://conservativehome.blogs.com/torydiary/2008/05/83-of-conservat.html" rel="nofollow">the Conservatives are indisputably better than Labour on abortion</a> (although <a href="http://www.christian.org.uk/news/cameron-backs-abortion-on-grounds-of-disability/" rel="nofollow">the Conservatives are not great on abortion themselves</a>). Would it be wrong for Christian leaders to say that the current Labour party have shown themselves to be <a href="http://www.desiringgod.org/ResourceLibrary/TasteAndSee/ByDate/1992/4031_One_Issue_Politics_One_Issue_Marriage_and_the_Humane_Society/" rel="nofollow">unfit for office based on this issue alone</a>.Ben Stevensonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08180387993747753614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17617194.post-65106215322704912442009-09-28T11:39:27.402+01:002009-09-28T11:39:27.402+01:00Ben - ET did contact us before going to press.

However, when we highlighted the ways in which we believed their article to be both misleading and unfair, they simply proceeded to print it without any significant changes, and told us that "the article is fair comment - and perhaps too kind!"Jeremy Brookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18215350192504009254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17617194.post-31282104802801234762009-09-28T11:34:23.526+01:002009-09-28T11:34:23.526+01:00I have put my name to a letter sent in which criti...I have put my name to a letter sent in which criticises the front page article.<br /><br />As a friend put it, 'pietism gone mad'Jonathan Hunthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12341478626195362383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17617194.post-14198848396631942862009-09-28T10:45:21.063+01:002009-09-28T10:45:21.063+01:00I understand that PTS was shown the article pre-pu...I understand that PTS was shown the article pre-publication and was invited give a response, which they did.
