Hartmann. T. Pitburg Germany a a reeducation needed the letter Quot kids taught prejudice Quot prompted me to write. How naive can some people be to state that homosexuality is with you at birth is to say that god creates the very thing he condemns. The Reader should read the Bible and Pray for understanding. Our kids need a sporting Chance this Day and age so teach them the Good works of the Bible. I say if parents Are teaching their children against homosexuality its a Good place to Start re educating a slowly deteriorating nation. A William j. Peeler Custeau Belgium poor poop americans in a certainly glad to know our government feels food and Medicine Are Basic items that no one should go without unless of course you re an american. Yes its a shame that people Are starving in Somalia but we have people in our own country who Are starving to death too 1 sure done to see any Relief convoys going to help  another country a people go without everyone feels pity Ana wants to help. If its americans our country looks at them As if they Are not worthy of assistance. How inconsiderate of them to have chosen to be poor. Wake up. United states ignoring our problems will not make them go away. I think food and medical care should be things no one in our country should go without maybe our government officials would feel differently if our tax dollars did no to keep them living quite so comfortably a Nicole a Nichols Rota Spain Christ in 4thc Messiah this letter is in reference to Quot no a Christ in a Messiah a Quot . 15. The Anglo american choir has been singing at Ely Cathedral and at other churches for a number of years. The service at Ely Cathedral is an interfaith service meaning members of the jewish Catholic and protestant faiths participate and Are present at the service. The removal of the word a Christ front the a hallelujah Quot chorus is. Done to rested for those members of the jewish Faith. The. Change of wording has been done for a number of years because it s an interfaith service. This change was not done because a the Mildenhall chaplaincy pressured our director into removing the word a Christ and not done because it was Quot politically  director and Many choir members already knew about the change in the Vording for the service at Ely since it has been accomplished in previous years. Its unfortunate that the writer did not talk with the chaplains at Mildenhall about his difficulty with the change in the music. If the matter Wasny to resolved to his satisfaction then he certainly had the option of not attending the service. Its even More unfortunate he. Chose this method of publicity without getting his facts straight and at the same time slandering some wonderful people and an organization that put in much time and Effort to make the Messiah a production worthy of its name and put Christ into Christmas.

The writer reported a chaplaincy offices pressuring for the removal of the word a Christ from the Messiah. There is an anti Christian Bias in society which is discouraging but not surprising because we knew we would see it there seem to be Many who a Call evil Good and Good evil that put darkness for Light and Light for darkness that put bitter for Sweet and Sweet for  Isaiah 5 20 How ironic that those who espouse the cause of free speech do not extend this to those believing in Jude Christian values. Many do this in the name of Progress and humanism Faith in the ability of humans to better their condition. The condition of society implementing this humanism is ample proof of the futility of trying to build a society on such a foundation. A a indeed 1 tremble for my country when l reflect that god is  Thomas Jefferson. Jeff Smith Augsburg Germany a Why show his movie the plot during a massacre of the Kiowa a baby girl is stolen and a adopted Quot by the thieves a White family. After the child is grown members of her blood family come peacefully to Quot buy Back their own flesh and blood. They Are rejected and through a series of events the woman s Kiowa heritage is revealed to her. Her relatives return again to claim her. A a a. A. A. When she expresses a desire to go with them the White head of her adopted household orders the murder of one of the tribesmen to demonstrate his Heartfelt willingness to die before Quot allowing Quot her to leave. Of course the Kiowa de cafe War and this pitiful woman is persuaded to Lake up arms against her heritage. She a told by her White Quot Mentor Quot that she is of Kiowa blood but Quot nothing else Quot a the implication being she was raised a a White and is therefore validated and freed from the Quot fed faced Nigger Quot a term used in the movie. She a then obligated to kill to defend the unquestionable superiority of her upbringing. Well she complies is successful in killing her Brothers and is commended for doing Quot just  with a Small part of the West Quot won Quot the Sun shines through the carnage and this manipulated misguided woman and her White Quot Superior a protectors Are glorified in the midst of a striking musical score that signals Quot the end Quot this movie the unforgiven was shown on an. It angers frustrates and frightens me to imagine to whom this movie appealed. I recognize that the year this film was made 1960sensitivities were not As heightened As they Are purported to be today. But an s decision to air this blatantly racist sexist pointless piece of trash makes me realize just How far we have not advanced. A Cheryl a. Clemons.
