DOROTHY DAY is fine where she is ("'Don't Call Me a Saint,'" by Rose Marie Berger, July-August 2000). Look what we've done to Francis of Assisi—he's ended up in a bird bath!

I WOULD LIKE to respond to some of Ann McClenahan's concerns regarding the "simple living movement" ("Lives of Compassion and Meaning," July-August 2000).

I HAVE BEEN a reader of your magazine for many years. I was therefore disturbed by Jim Rice's Commentary on the threat to U.S. workers...

CHRIS RICE COULD have signed my name to his May-June 2000 "Grace Matters" column.

THANK YOU FOR Chris Rice’s "What I Learned When I Spoke Up About Gay Rights." I applaud his support of gay civil rights and continuing dialogue between our divided communities.

"A PUNISHING DECADE," by Ryan Beiler (May-June 2000), was right about the "static" figures for "estimated" incarceration in the United States.

I’M RESPONDING TO your article "Fight for the Living" by Eugene and Jacqueline Rivers (July-August 2000).

AS SOMEONE WHO has read Sojourners for 20 years, I am hoping to wire the entire Uniting Church in Australia Tertiary Students Association to SojoNet.

I CAN CERTAINLY relate to Chris Rice when he shares what happened to him when he started talking about gay rights (May-June 2000).
Charles Gardner 9-01-2000
SOMEHOW I ALMOST let my Sojourners subscription lapse. How ironic that the July-August 2000 issue is one of the best I have ever read—excellent from cover to cover!

REV. BILLY has the right idea ("Clowns and Poets and Artists—Oh, My!" by Julie Polter, July-August 2000).
Judy Boyles 9-01-2000
I APPRECIATE THE education I got in Eugene and Jacqueline Rivers’ article "The Fight for the Living" (July-August 2000).

THE SENTENCE IN the Catholic English version of the Lord’s Prayer "and lead us not into temptation" has always irked me ("A Prayer for All People," by Michael Joseph Brown, July-August 2000).
June Dandridge Evans 9-01-2000
I JUST READ Molly Marsh’s article "Breaking Down the Walls" (May-June 2000) on how many organizations are striving to make peace present in Israel and in the occupied West Bank and Gaza.

IT’S BECOME A sort of game for Sojourners loyal readers to watch the magazine turn and twist and jump about when dealing with the issue of homosexuality.
Carl Hyde 7-01-2000
THANKS FOR Julie Polter's excellent article about the high cost of funerals ("We All Have to Die," May-June 2000).
Ellen Grigsby 7-01-2000
IN RESPONSE TO Chris Rice's column "What I Learned When I Opened My Mouth About Gay Rights", I would like to say what I learned from some other Christians when I opened my mouth about Jesus and joined a church.
David Anderson 7-01-2000
FINALLY! DUANE SHANK'S article "A Path Between the Extremes," (March-April 2000) says what I've been saying for years. You can teach about religion without proselytizing.
