Letter to the editor: Cherry confesses

Notes: "To compare fans of hockey fights and fans of bullfights does not belong in the 'Anglican Journal' -- that's for another arena. Instead, let us consider the General Confession, which the eminent Anglican Donald S. Cherry knows by heart". "In his letter in the Feb. 2014 'Anglican Journal' ['No time for meekness', p. 4], Mr. Cherry mentions turning the money changers out of the temple as one example of the use of physical force by Jesus. Will he please remind us of other occasions when Jesus used physical force ? Now we must avoid disliking Mr. Cherry. In order to do so, I immediately change the channel every time he appears by chance on my television screen. Now I will add to that a reminder to myself -- that he recites from memory the General Confession, by Archbishop Cranmer, martyr".
