Evangelical civil war

Dear Editor,

The article on page 17 of the August issue of en is most timely. It relates to ‘avoiding evangelical civil war’ and, as well as being based on Biblical teaching, is intensely practical as to how we relate to each other.

Some of us (myself included) were brought up in circles where it was considered imperative to ‘dot the i and cross the t’ which, although giving a good grounding in Christian thinking, could easily degenerate into fruitless arguments and needless offence.
