Prelatical concern
Sir: In his diverting letter (16 January), Mr J. C. Goss appears to think that my subjects for Dr Ramsey's attention are purely poli- tical ones. To me, the saddest fact in the continuing Ulster problem is that it involves those who are at least nominal members of differing branches of the Christian faith; and living conditions, which I also men- tioned (26 December) are surely deserving of prelatical, as well as political, concern?
" I am rebuked for an 'innuendo' against the sewage-workers, but I do not question their right to their 'beliefs'. It is the immorality of their actions that I wished His Grace to condemn. I am totally unrepentant; and, if Mr Goss needs the obvious to be stated, it would include, the recent electrical go- Slow, when human life was imperil- led.
To return to the arms issue, and to ,quote Anthony Trollope—be- loved of myself as well as your correspondent—'It's dogged as does it. It ain't thinking about it!' (Last Chronicle of Barset, ch. 61) and we shall have to wait for the final outcome. But 'Peace for Par- liament'? Good Goss! Whatever next?
