Sir, — I suggest that Alan Wilkinson (March 31) comes to the church I attend, puts into the collection bag the ;ame amount that it cost Mrs Stanton to buy a front seat at “Statements” and afterwards we can have a discussion about what he does not like. I am sorry we will riot have any nudes for him. We do not find them necessary in order to convey our worship to God because he sees into us deeper than surface nudity'. Is it possible that the preoccupation with
the body and things material numbs and clouds those fac* ulties of our minds which should be responsive to the enlivening impulses of creative thought and ennobling virtue? Is not Alan Wilkinson a member of the most noble order of creation — homo sapiens? — Yours, etc., G. P. L. BRETHERTON. March 31, 1980.
