Letter to the editor: Pastoral rather than punitive ?

Notes: "It is disappointing that Archbishop Fred Hiltz would trivialize the collective leadership of the 39 primates of the Anglican Communion ('Hiltz: Sanctions likely if marriage canon is amended', Dec. 2017, p. 1). If the primates are prepared to place sanctions on the Canadian church, perhaps it is not punitive, but rather a pastoral response to a perceived spiritual threat. Should our leadership, not be thankful for the interest, and examine and address the primates' concerns ?" [Text of entire article.]
