Dear Sirs,

Back on a very dark and dismal October day in 1967 one of the worst-ever laws in this country, the Abortion Act, was passed by Parliament. In 2017, if the Lord tarries, this dreadful law will be 50 years old. While pitiless and heartless pro-abortion activists will be celebrating this anniversary, there are countless numbers across the UK who will be lamenting. They are craving, and earnestly praying, for the day when the Abortion (1967) Act will be forever aborted. And no wonder, when one considers the appalling statistic that, up to the end of 2015, nearly 8.5 million babies have been aborted across the UK. Enough is enough.

Dear en,

We were absolutely thrilled to read the article on the front page of the February issue of en, ‘Is there revival in Ethiopia?’

Dear Friends,

Please could I use your letter section to rally Christians throughout the UK to be much in prayer for Scotland in these days. The nation that used to be known as the ‘land of the book’, i.e. the Bible, is now in peril of judgment.

Dear en,

I was thankful for Chris Wright’s gentle corrective in the April edition. I should have expressed more appreciation for The Cape Town Commitment because it is full of helpful affirmations and observations.

Dear Editor,

Thank you for the book review by Ann Benton if Charles (February en) asking Dickens can be regarded as a Christian? I notice that Ann did not commit herself to the book’s thesis. But let me add a few things.

Dear Editor,

Let me give a Third World perspective on the recent actions of Islamic extremists.

Dear en,

Like many, I was very grieved at the sudden and somewhat shocking news that IVP had become a wholly-owned subsidiary of SPCK. I write now only to reassure en read-ers on a question raised by your editorial comment in the November news piece.

Dear en,

I plan to update my 2007 book Building for the Gospel: A handbook for the visionary and the terrified. It is written for churches which are exploring the possibility of a building project.

Dear Sir

Chris Sugden, writing in Evangelicals Now, wrongly identifies Islamic Relief, the UK’s largest Muslim charity, as an organisation that does not assist Christians (‘Christian Aid?’, April en). Nothing could be further from the truth.

Dear Sir,

Thank you so much for having the courage to present the Jay Smith video clip in the news item headlined ‘Charlie at the corner’ on the online version of en on your website. What Jay Smith says gets to the heart of the problem with the Qu’ran: how to treat the later surahs compared to the earlier.

Dear Sir,

The Oxford Inter-Collegiate Christian Union (OICCU) is once more gathering former members for an afternoon of renewed fellowship, news and stories. The speakers will be Andrew Atherstone (Wycliffe Hall, who is preparing a history of the OICCU), and Lindsay Brown (IFES/Lausanne Movement, a former OICCU president). Current student leaders will tell of plans for the 2015 Oxford University mission with Tim Keller.

Dear Sir,

In reply to Mike Payne’s letter (Sept en ) ‘visiting opportunities’ – I have been conducting door-to-door visiting for 30 years, first in South London, then here in North East Scotland.

Dear Editor,

I was interested and encouraged by Rowina Seidler’s article, in April’s EN, about the lack of biblical precedent for boyfriends.

Dear Sir,

In ‘Growing a rural church’ in the February issue of EN (an interesting article), Chris Sinkinson talks about ‘critical mass’ and needing a certain number within a church to be able to do useful gospel work. He says: ‘Less than [in the region of 30 people] and we may lack the critical mass to really be an effective church’.
