To infuence the world, write letters/e-mails to editor agaist articles,columns, reveiews etctera that are so contrary to Judeo/Chritians principles - unbelievably so in the areaf human sexuality. And support those which undergird and advance thse princi[es/ My 35 year old Dewing Things Better column in the Manhattan weekliy Our Town often seems to be the only secular voice recognizing religious holidays and the good faith groups can do. I do write letter to the editor too. If only all more peple would. As for the family, this long time mother has long called for ongong close relationships between family generations, not only for the sake of elders who feel the frequent separations most keenly, but for the overall health of all generations. Sadly, and yes, even sinfully most faith groups focus only on the nuclear family and the young gamiles. Refused was my request that longtime mothers be inlcuded in the young mother's prayer group.

there are those who are a disgrace to the Church of God and those who grace the Church. John Stott graced the Church There must be by all means ways in which we should encourage such to be heard because they are the Church as it should be.

Wow! Praise the Lord for Stott and this article. He says what I have been trying to say through the Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Humans, and he says it so well. Maybe, now, with such credibility as Stott has earned, more Christians will begin to pay attention to these important truths. If so they will become the agents for loving others as Jesus called us to do, and much less susceptible to the constant corrupting influence of the world.
