Letter to the editor: Commandments shed light

Notes: "Graham Patterson (Letters, 'Bible in infallible', Oct. 2013, p. 5) tells us, 'Each word in the Bible is .. infallible in all matters .. on which it makes an authoritative pronouncement'. Mr. Patterson might want to rethink this the next time he pulls on socks made of a cotton and nylon blend because the wearing of clothing of blended cloth is specifically and authoritatively prohibited in the same book (Lev. 19:19) that he uses to condemn homosexuality". "'The Book of Common Prayer' reminds us that all scripture must be seen in the light of just two commandments: first, that we love God above all else, and second, that we love our neighbour as ourselves: 'On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets' (BCP, p. 70). Oh .. and we might want to remember that God hates nothing that he has created (Collect for Ash Wednesday, BCP, p. 138)".
