Dear Editor,

I would like to comment on the recent article “In defence of Trump”.

Dear Editor,

There was much in James Mildred’s article in the December issue of en under the headline ‘MPs are ignorant about true Christianity’ which I agreed with, not least the need for consistent engagement motivated by a desire to serve the common good, witnessing to the whole revelation of God’s word, and to speak truth to power. However, the headline is not helpful for such engagement, because whatever our view about the government there are actually more MPs who do understand true Christianity, and numerically there are probably more evangelical Christian MPs than ever before.

Dear Sir,

The article ‘Parents, take back control’ in the May issue of en mixes a correct assertion of parents’ rights to ensure teaching conforms with their religious convictions with an incorrect interpretation of the Government’s new Relationships and Sex Education (RSE) curriculum requirement. To suggest that the proposals amount to ‘a form of child grooming’ and ‘opens the door to sexual predators’ is, I am afraid, scaremongering and must be challenged.

Dear Editor,

Further to the excellent article on the EU by David Burrowes M.P. (June en) your readers might like to note the following comment made by C. S. Lewis in a letter of 15 September 1953 to Don Giovanni Calabria: ‘I feel that very grave dangers hang over us. This results from the apostacy of the great part of Europe from the Christian faith.’
