[Virtue Online] 11 Apr 2008--As the minister at St. Mary of the Incarnation Church in Metchosin, I write in response to the editorial "When churches lose their way" of April 8.

I too am saddened that the apparent "fighting" appears to have distracted us from our mission as a Christian church. However, the picture is a much bigger one, and the stand we have taken was a matter of being faithful.

The mission of the Christian church is to proclaim the good news that God is alive and cares for each and every person, and is in the business of restoring lives through faith in Jesus Christ. God's love is made known in Christ and in the Scriptures and is experienced by faith.
