Dear Sir,

Kenneth J. Stewart is right to point out in his July letter that I should have been more careful in my statements about Pietism in the 18th century. All sorts of helpful changes came from this German-based renewal movement and we benefit from them to this day. Church historian G. R. Cragg is similarly positive. He devotes an entire page to its merits in his The Church and the Age of Reason (Pelican 1970).
