Calvinist coalman

Sir: I was glad to see the letter from the Revd Joseph McMahon (20 July) com- plaining about the misuse of the word `theological'. It is a pity that in the same issue John Lloyd refers to Mr Ian MacGre- gor's 'rigid Calvinist attitudes'. What does he mean? I was unaware that Mr MacGre- gor took any theological stance during the strike.
