Letter to the Editors

When reading “Unfinished Business” by Sara Wenger Shenk (November 2013), I was dismayed to learn that John Howard Yoder’s disciplinary process was kept confidential because he “insisted” upon it. No wonder there were doubts about whether he confessed his sin or demonstrated any remorse!

And dare I say, a hypocrite.
