THE CHURCHES
SuL—Mr. J. F. Lethbridge in his letter which appeared in your last issue might have had a point in his favour if he had simply shown up the in- consistency of printing Monica Furlong's excellent Anglican commentaries under the title 'The Churches.' As, however, I continue to love my alma mater—and increasingly so since my submission to Rome, my parent by adoption—I find Miss Furlong's articles charming as well as wise. These adjectives I fear I cannot apply to Mr. Lethbridge's contribution. He himself apologiseS for its sectarianism. I would prefer to describe it as ill-mannered. It is, I am happy to say, in complete conflict with the tenor 9t present-day Papal utterances on ecumenical matters.
Must Mr. Lethbridge need reminding that the schisms of the past were, in part if not in whole, due to the stiff-necked myopia and unregenerate corruption of many within the Church? Let Mr. Lethbridge recite for his penance the prayer, Domine lesu Christe, qui dixisti A postolis Luis, with a pro- found pause between each word in remembrance of our unworthiness as stewards of the mysteries of Faith.—Yours faithfully,
100 Boileau Road, Ealing, W5 IAN HENDERSON
