I APPRECIATE THE education I got in Eugene and Jacqueline Rivers’ article "The Fight for the Living" (July-August 2000).

John Hirt 9-01-2000

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.

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).

Anne Savole 9-01-2000

I CAN CERTAINLY relate to Chris Rice when he shares what happened to him when he started talking about gay rights (May-June 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.

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!

Rendell Davis 9-01-2000

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. 

Bert Miller 9-01-2000

THANK YOU FOR your July-August 2000 issue. I enjoyed it.

Vic Turner 9-01-2000

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

Joy Banta 9-01-2000

I was so happy to receive my first issue of Sojourners.

Helen Daniels 9-01-2000

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.

REV. BILLY has the right idea ("Clowns and Poets and Artists—Oh, My!" by Julie Polter, July-August 2000).

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

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).

JULIE POLTER TROTS out Jessica Mitford's old song and dance routine about the evils of the funeral trade ("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.

Renee Smith 7-01-2000

THE MARCH-APRIL 2000 Sojourners is one of the best issues ever - the articles were wide-ranging, practical, and well written.

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.

Garth Thomas 7-01-2000

I AM A SUPPLY TEACHER and have been teaching religious studies for two weeks in a Catholic school.

Scot DeGraf 7-01-2000

ED SPIVEY'S January-February 2000 "H'rumphs" ("Surely, There Must Be Some Mistake...") was really good.
