Jesting Jesus

Sir: In contrast to Mr Moore's experience, (`Another voice', 22/29 December) mine has been one of feeling close to Jesus, particularly when He speaks to me, some- times with brilliant humour. Only last week, He wondered aloud about scrapping the alternative service in the Anglican Church. 'And why,' He puzzled, 'do they insist on calling it alternative when it is in regular use?'
