Dear Editor,

I have read with interest the comments [links listed below] about and reactions to the article, "Presbyterians and Separate Evangelicals: The Continuing Dilemma" that appears in this month's issue of "Perspectives," the online magazine published by the Office of the General Assembly (www.pcusa.org/oga/perspectives).

"Perspectives" is an appropriate name for the magazine. As the purpose statement says, "Perspectives offers an exploration of issues facing the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) and its witness in society through reflective and provocative analysis of our life together as a denomination, and the lenses of Scripture, Reformed theology, cultures, and a constitutional and confessional framework."

The articles that appear are from the perspectives of the individuals who write them. Mr. Winter's article presents his perspective and, in good Presbyterian fashion, readers, in turn, are moved to discuss and debate that perspective.

Always seeking balance, the next issue of the magazine will include the perspective of Casey Jones on the gifts that evangelicals bring to the life of the church.

On the front page of the magazine is a link to email us with suggestions, feedback, and future articles or topics for consideration in future issues. We invite you to be in touch with us.

Editor, "Perspectives"
