Letters to the Editor
Echoes of DLP
Dear Sir,
The recent pontifications of the Archbishop Peter Carnley, Primate of the Anglican Church in Australia on the causes of terrorism in Bali, a province of Indonesia appear to be in stark contrast and contradictory to his silence in relation to the massacres or forced conversions of devout Christians to the Muslim religion by possibly the same Muslim Terrorists and Murderers in Aceh, another province of Indonesia.
Perhaps it would be astute for such an educated, professed servant of Jesus, to once again read the teachings of Christ. Or perhaps it is I who am mistaken , and Jesus actually was ; a bleeding heart , lip biting , bed wetting Nancy boy , and not the Son of God , who threw the money lenders from the temple , challenged the Scribes , the Pharisees , and the Roman Empire , then chose to die a slow excruciating death for our sins.
With leadership such as this, it can be no surprise that many great secular leaders are converting back to Roman Catholicism or Evangelical Christianity at the expense of the Anglican Church.
Is this the same type schism created by the DLP, and nurtured by evil, egocentric and uncompromising leadership? The collective, but anonymous and mysterious stewardship from within the ALP, that converted socialist into capitalists and guaranteed another two decade reign by the Liberals ?
Who is the ALP?
The Alternative Liberal Party!
Yours sincerely
Tom Collins
