SIR – I wish I could prevail upon Church leaders to spend their time and energy leading a crusade to protect Christians and indeed other persecuted minorities in various parts of the world, and keep their noses out of the politics of welfare.
If they are really so worried let them use the enormous wealth of their respective churches to alleviate it.
