Dear Sir,
How good was Sarah Allen’s article ‘The War on Plastic’ – that latest earthly crisis (inevitably involving David Attenborough) that the media has decided that we all must focus on.
Perceptively, she is aware of how easy it is to be sidetracked and preoccupied with a subject that has its importance but, for the Christian redeeming time (Eph. 5:15-16), their slogan should be ‘Let the dead bury their dead’ (Matt. 8:22). As Matthew Henry puts it: ‘Let worldly offices be left to worldly people.’
Sarah Allen shows she understands such issues, and whilst not discounting them, more importantly she understands their place. How pleasing to read her balanced views. There is still wisdom and common sense around then!
Yours faithfully,
