My goodness, Mr. Shepherd, you don't seem to recognize satire, do you?

I am a regular church goer and have been since my early days, having worked in Vacation Bible Schools in Appalachia and housing projects as well as in my own church. I have been a Sunday School teacher, a G.A. (Girls' Auxiliary) leader, and worked on many committees. I have traveled with youth groups as a chaperone too many times to recall. My children are also faithful church goers.

This whole article was a sarcastic view of those (not me) who say they can't go because of the hypocrites and then I point out that hypocrites can be found anywhere. I go on to list the good things that church members do.

I can't believe anyone would have interpreted this article the way you did. --Nancy Evins
