Letter to the editor : Advocacy needed

Notes: "I would like to thank Diana Swift for her article on asbestos ['Parishioners protest', April 2012, p. 1 and 'Killer buildings', April 2012, p. 3]. I would like to further suggest to the readers of the 'Anglican Journal', since they represent membership across Canada, that each diocese take it upon itself to pass a motion on the floor of their respective synods, advocating against the export of asbestos and taking appropriate measures to this end. The diocese of Ottawa passed such a motion in October 2011. Sadly, according to an official list of advocates against the export of asbestos, not a single faith group is mentioned to date".
