Prayer Book
Sir,—Time moves slowly when it comes to traditional heresy. At long last, after several centuries, the Anglican Church acknowledges that it has a non-biblical base for its promise of eternity and, in a rather back-handed way, apologises to the Jews. Through its very existence Christianity has dealt a body blow to Jewry but, at the same time, has found the Jewish truth a more than convenient peg on which to place and perpetuate its own erroneous beliefs. Anglicanism and all other major religions, including Catholicism, Presbyterianism, Methodism, etc., have decided that the reward of the righteous (and virtually all others, it would seem) is. a presence of sorts in a place called-Heaven. Literal teaching from the primary text promises
eternal reward on Earth based from Jerusalem. For the Church to at last delete reference to Zion and Jerusalem from its Prayer Book is to finally seal the error and release the Jew, giving him the opportunity to reward his own saints in his own specially chosen and undoubtably correct way. — Yours, etc.,
W. J. PERROTT. December 7, 1989.
