Hi Editor!!

I wonder if you could pass on my gratitude to Andrew Campbell for his very personal thoughts. I'm sure that this was not an easy task..... Thank you also to Press On for publishing it.

Being brought up as a traditional, rules and knowledge based Christadelphian, the last decade of my life has opened my eyes to many things....I'm grateful to your journal for also being a part of this.

I can't make sense of why God would create people he hated and so, I leave it in His hands..... all I know is that we must treat all with love just as Jesus loved others.

I'd love it if Andrew did some follow ups.... Also his interpretation of the quotes that Christadelphian's use against him.

 Thank you

Dear Editor,

Thanks as always for another fine edition enjoyed as usual on this morning's walk.

Please can you particularly thank Andrew McFarland Campbell for his article and courage to speak up. I imagine that would have been tough and I admire his conviction - and love him without knowing him.
