Salient. Victoria University Student Newspaper. Volume 36, Number 4. 21st March 1973

Practical Christianity?

Practical Christianity?

Dear Sir,

It seems a shame to me that Salient has to be spoiled by articles which are obviously written and "researched" by someone with an inherent prejudice against a minority group on this campus. I refer of course to Don Franks' article entitled "The Long Arm of the Church". The fact that he has to live with a pathological aversion to Christianity is obvious but if he wants to put this in print please let him do so in a consistent and articulate form.

Mr Franks is always criticising the Christians on this campus for their lack of practical Christianity yet when he sees some of it he immediately condemns it because it clashes with his political aspirations.

On a more positive note, I think it is commendable that someone of Major Major's stature and ability is able to pull a few strings to ensure deserving cases receive fair treatment. Mr Franks would no doubt be content to sit and watch these cases unfairly dealt with.

I think the real test would be to ask those who have received help through the Major's service as to what they think.
