Sir, Leslie Craven (January 24th) is presumably suggesting that I join the Church of Ireland, with its "two great cathedrals in Dublin" (L.C.'s own "many towered Camelot", I suppose). But my own church has a directive, Semper Reformanda, and how can this take place if the critics all jump ship?

It was for that reason that I wrote to support Fr Hegarty's article, with its attractive vision (January 1st, 2nd, 1996). It is a little sad, however, in these troubled times, to get discouraging messages from other Christians. Yours, etc., Dundrum, Dublin 14.
