Letter to the editor: Thoughts

Notes: "Two items in the Feb. 2014 issue require comment and context. Mark MacDonald's piece ['Only God can save us', p. 5] recalls the story about the French curé marvelling at a beautiful garden: 'What a wonder God has made !' The gardener replied: 'You should have seen this place when God had it on his own !' Don Cherry's letter ['No time for meekness', p. 4] echoes what Albert Schweitzer observed in 'The Quest for the Historical Jesus'.

As far as we know, Jesus never received a large salary from a state institution for promoting violence". [Text of entire article.]
