Dear Editor:

My evangelical friends who are protesting the Winter essay are right. It contains so many distortions of our view of things that it is hard to know where to begin in responding. Winter's claim that we ostracise"anyone [who] breaks ranks on one point" with a "ferociousness that is breathtaking to outsiders" is ironic given ferociousness of some of the points that he makes about us. I personally find it "breathtaking" that our denominational leadership seems to be doing everything within its power to harass and taunt the evangelicals within it ranks. Shame!
