Dear Office of the Archbishop,

I read with interest the story of the Archbishop standing up against the erosion of Christian values, and the Address to the Diocese of Newcastle. I am slightly confused. Which specifically Christian values are being eroded from society?

I appreciate the Archbishop gives some examples. The loss of free parking for Christians in Plymouth is a shock and I believe it would be to the benefit of all if this were pursued further by a strong media campaign. I suggest that he could camp out in a parking space fasting and praying for a week, as he did for peace in the Middle East in August. I would be more than willing to contribute to some of the costs of the parking tickets for such an event. However, would Matthew 22:15-22 apply here? (more…)
