- Notes
- "A full page of the 'Anglican Journal' ('Bullets over Broadway', Mar. 2011, p. 8) celebrates the achievements of Brent Hawkes as a leader on issues of social justice. I believe that had he been Anglican clergy, he would have been dragged through a Bishop's Court, denounced, reviled, defrocked, tarred and feathered in the press and run out of town on a rail. .... Which is it ? Hero or thorn ? Christian leader or secular populist ? A clue might be the second article about MCT [Metropolitan Community Church Toronto] winning the french fry tax writeoff sweepstakes".
- Letter accompanied by editorial cartoon showing the Rev. Brent Hawkes holding up a sign "McC donatin to MCC" and saying "We have a lot in common".
