A letter about the letters

As an avid reader of these letters I can count on being exposed to an array of thought provoking and divergent views:
Letter writer Cal Withers felt "scolded" by editor David Harris. J. E. Vallance criticized the church for criticizing teens. Rev. Alan Stewart said the editorial staff was "blatantly unaware of gender issues" and wants an answer as to why boys are excluded from the covers of the Record. The question escapes me.
Paul Marshall says the Presbyterian Church he attends "is dying." Rev. H. L. Wipprecht observes that the United Church is "shrinking away". Both astute comments. Alasdair Coats remarks that a "parishioner" whose beliefs are unlike his should go to a different church, his Christianity suspect. Dr. John Carr said we should learn from homosexuals how "God is present in their lives." One thing is constant. Opposing views are prevalent and moot, but perceived by some as dichotomous. Namely, the male, the female, the old guard, the young turks, the hawks, the doves, the liberals, the conservations, the believers, the atheists, ad infinitum. These opposites are not necessarily mutually exclusive, but open to interpretation and helpful in establishing ones own evolving personal philosophy. Scripture implores us to "judge not" and to be mindful of the greatest commandment of all, "to love."
