Letter to the editor : Breach of trust

Notes: Writer criticizes the actions of the diocese of British Columbia and Bishop James Cowan in closing churches. "Many of the parishes on this island were started and endowed by a gift of land so that there might be a church. Surely disestablishing that church and taking its land and endowments to support other parishes or pay diocesan debts is as gross a breach of trust [as not passing through funds to the intended recipient/purpose]. Such a scheme stands condemned by the diocese's own rules".
