Letter to the editor: Good sense prevailed

Notes: "Allow me, as an agnostic Anglican, to congratulate the Rev. Lee Lambert on his heartfelt and beautifully written reflection ['Notes from a funeral', Oct. 2011, p. 6]. I once went to the funeral of the child of a friend, and the (Catholic) priest won my heart by quoting these words, 'We aren't here to explain this terrible tragedy or to ask God why. We're here because we don't know what else to do'. He too had the good sense to get out of the way". [Text of entire article.]
