Love others but not their sins
by Anne Moyer, Lansdale, Pa.
I don’t own a typewriter so I will try to write legibly. I found the last issue (April 15) very interesting. I agreed with almost everything. But the one about there being no tribe of Joseph, I’d have to think about more closely (Speaking Out). The other articles I find challenging and thought provoking.
I heartily agree with both Myron Augsburger’s article (“Evangelism in a Multireligious Society”) and Victor J. Sensenig’s (“Christ and the New Atheism”). We need to learn how to relate to other people in order to “accept” them in the sense that we can love them—though not their sins or “lifestyle.” Jesus did this with the “woman at the well,” a social outcast of society.
