Sir: While no doubt anxious to support your columnist, the
Dean of St. Paul's, over his refusal to allow his pulpit to the Archbishop of Canterbury, your reasons are rather spurious and, if not, then one must say the New Testament is wrong. St. Paul's has not a very good record in helping the poor. Some years ago Father Joe of Stepney was refused permission to speak on behalf of the need for homes for unmarried'mothers though the Queen Mother came to the opening of one of them. • Perhaps you would kindly identify the ignorant churchmen and their lay lackeys and perhaps the Dean would oblige us with an exposition of your phrase "the purity of Christianity," The truth of Christianity is that God did enter the muck of this world — politics included.
