- Notes
- "Canon David Harrison ('Toronto priest, Journal contributor found guilty of public indecency', April [2024], p. 8) cannot be the first priest to have committed a minor offence that in no way involved his church duties. Did the Journal give such prominent coverage to all and each of their minor offenses ? This is the kind of yellow journalism we associate with U.K. and U.S. tabloids, not a well-regarded Anglican newspaper in Canada. I hope the Anglican Journal will thoughtfully reconsider its actions and the ramifications. By publishing this article, you have ruined this man’s reputation without just cause".
