Anglican commission
Sir,—The Anglican Church has appointed a commission “to help make its parishioners more active politically” (June 30). The aim is to “inform people’s consciences (sic) — to encourage them to take political action for social change.” The convener, Bishop Wilson, said it was inevitable the commission’s view on Government economic reforms would be rejected by some Anglicans. Obviously, the commission is pro-Labour, and will promote its views in the Church, thus creating political dissension where unity is badly needed. These Left-wing propagandists are quite undeterred by Labour’s terrible failure in its economic reforms, its unsound racial policies and its general lack of wisdom, which have split and ruined New Zealand. The same will ahppen to the Church if this commission is not stopped. — Yours, etc., J. N. MILLS. June 2, 1989.
