To the editor,
Recently your ‘news-
paper published an article

which described a recent
. speaking engagement on
the topic of ‘‘fundamen-
-talist”? Christianity. . A
Reverend. Margaret -Mar-

spoke on the errancies of
fundamentalism. While
this interest in Christianity

good thing, I am afraid

some serious errors his-

torical and otherwise.
While Ido not have the

‘space available in this let-

Christianity as being
**mainstream’’ .and. “‘fun-
damentalist’’, I would like
to attempt to explain that

ferent to almost every-
body.

It conjures up in the
mind a white-suited evan-

makes them think of. the
Jimmy Jones cult or sou-
thern U.S. snake charm-
ing circles “who base their
whole theology on St.
Mark’s sixteenth chapter.

In reality many people
within the ‘‘mainstream’’
churches would be classi-
fied as fundamentalists
for their belief in “‘ori-
ginal sin’’, the virgin birth

Wendy Gallicamo and resurrection, etc. At

Perhaps they should
would wish to classify all

_ists- would be in error for

instance, Tommy Doug-
ex-CCF-NDP, was
one.

It is very inaccurate to
use the terms fundamenta-
‘list or liberal when applied
to religion as it is such a
vague term. For example,
I am a Pentecostal (admit-

. tedly a fundamentalist) if I
need be classified, who
married a United Church
woman who believes Jesus
arose from the dead and
lives evermore at the
Father’s right hand (does
this make her a fundamen-
talist?). I’m sure I could
give many more examples
but I believe I’ve made my
point.

The statement ‘“Fun-
damentalism is growing
today in spite of its having
been linked to support of
wife abuse’ was poor
journalism. Although I
am not aware personally
of any scriptures which

Feminists find to be chau-

In. fact, the Apostle

day much the same ra-

oppression of its native
peoples’. This does a
strong disservice to history
and Christianity.
