Letter to the editor : What I said

Notes: The writer attended the National Conference on Theological Education in Montreal in January 2010. In an article in about Bishop Mark MacDonald's address [www.anglicanjournal.com, Jan. 21] she was quoted as saying that "the scriptural narrative just isn't speaking to my generation. This implies that I feel scripture has become somehow irrelevant to the cultural situation of people in their 20s and 30s. What I said, in fact, was that my generation has little to no knowledge of scripture and the church cannot assume such knowledge when engaging young 'unchurched' Canadians. Scripture remains relevant, but it is imperative the church find new ways to communicate its message".
