A well kent name
Well, as long as they print 'em, I'll link 'em!
I was the recipient the other day of only my second ever piece of unsolicited Christian opinion as a result, I assume, of one of the recent letters. It's not difficult to find my full address even if you only have my surname, it being so unusual. So I received a copy the other day of a publication called decision - the magazine of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association. No covering note. I think they thought it spoke for itself.
Out of politeness I gave it a quick read, but it was mild in comparison to the other piece of domestic evangelism mailed to me some years ago as a result of a talk I gave about sexuality in the Bible. That one was fabulous - a proper rant, not only with hilarious assertions of fact from Biblical "history" but even some direct personal attacks. Hand-written, of course; but with a proper pen, not a crayon, so it was someone loose in the community.
Anyhoo, every public act is a political act, as I always quote (but not sure from whom); so perhaps politics isn't dead after all, it's just becoming personal.
