Re: The Interfaith Voices column of Dec. 21, “This will not end with immigrants”:
This feature has been my refuge from the political screeds that have dominated letters to the editor and the As I See It columns — thoughtful and thought-provoking insights offered in calm, considerate voices from all faiths.
Today’s screed, hypocritically wrapped in Scripture and biblical references is a travesty. Compare it to other recent offerings that invite the reader in, offering thoughts and experiences that induce one to sit back, look out a window and contemplate how it all fits in one’s own life. Very reminiscent of Father Neville’s calm, considerate and uplifting voice.
We don’t need more diatribe. Not in Interfaith Voices, our one holy refuge in our paper.
