THE P RTAL December 2011 Page 13 Letters to the Editor From Mr Charles Wilson Dear Sir, How wonderful that an Ordinariate is to be set up in the U.S.A. One wonders how many other Ordinariates there will be around the world. Australia, I expect, but will there be one in Scandinavia? One remembers your interview with the Vatican Official at the CDF, who was enthusiastic about a Ordinariate for the Lutherans. We wait in hope and expectation. Yours faithfully Charles Wilson Nantwich, Cheshire From Mr James Dickie Dear Sir, I read with interest the article in last month’s T he P ortal about the Forward in Faith Assembly. For a magazine of the Ordinariate to interest itself in the politics of Forward in Faith is in itself interesting. Is this an example of “Anglican Patrimony”? Yours truly James Dickie Stirling, Scotland From Mrs Phyllis Page Dear Sir, Where is Will Burton? Month after month, he wrote in T he P ortal . We in this village were always keen to read him, as he is local to us. Then he disappears, no explanation, nothing. Is he alright? Has he gone on holiday? Please tell us. Yours faithfully Phyllis Page (Mrs) Welney, Cambs Mrs Page, Will Burton is perfectly ok. He has just not written for a while. You will be pleased to see that he is back this month. Ed. From Mr Bill Burson Dear Sir, What a joy T he P ortal is! Every month it brings joy to our house. Yet you also deal with matters grave. My wife and I were interested in the article by Dr Chris Davies about abortion. The subject has had a great amount of coverage in the media recently, most of this prejudicial to the Catholic cause. We found it refreshing to read the subject approached with such care and sensitivity. Congratulations to Dr Davies and congratulations to you for running the article. Yours Bill Burson High Wycombe, Bucks Letters for publication should be sent to: The Editors, The Portal, 293 Ordnance Road, Enfield Lock, Middlesex EN3 6HB [email protected] Exploration Group News Croydon Ordinariate Exploration Huntingdon Ordinariate Exploration A group of people from some of the Croydon Anglo-Catholic parishes are getting together to see what the Ordinariate involvers and what Pope Benedict’s invitation is all about.
