Letter to the editor: Can you call yourself a mature Anglican Christian ?

Notes: "I peruse the 'Anglican Journal' with interest. I am coming to the conclusion from reading its articles, and from what I observe from being a member of the Anglican church, that I am not mature enough to be an Anglican. Its three-legged-stool ethos of Bible, Tradition and Reason, and keeping them in balance, demands intellectual acumen and maturity. ... Simon Peter, the rich young man and the Pharisees as portrayed in the gospels, in whose number I include myself, do not show maturity. In my estimation, Paul had a roller coaster personality ranging from intellectual acumen and maturity to psychological immaturity. I ask myself the question: How much maturity is required to be an Anglican Christian ? 'Amazing Grace' -- It is with gratitude that I know we are accepted by God through Jesus Christ just as I am/we are".
