Letter to the editor: Faith first

Notes: "I was disappointed to read in 'From one room and a pot-bellied stove to premier's office' [Sept. 2013, p. 11] that Clyde Wells suggests to young people of faith who are considering politics that their own religious principles can't come first when weighing public issues. The main reason I have an issue with Mr. Wells's statement is that Jesus Christ consistently reminded those who would be his disciples, then and today, that they would have to take up the cross and suffer in his name. Why should people of faith be denied access to the public square because of self-censure or secular pressure ?" [Text of entire article.]
