Nothing to lose but chains


(In response to A twist of faith)

I’m sorry to hear that reading Rev. Gretta Vosper’s With or Without God left the reviewer feeling “blindsided by sudden gusts of wind and rain” (Reviews, April). As a member of her congregation at West Hill United in Scarborough, Ont., I can say that my experience of that community of faith and Gretta has been filled with gentle warmth, acceptance, nurturing and caring. I’ve never experienced that sense of belonging and unconditional love in any other church — not the United Church I grew up in or either of the two other denominations I tried as an adult.
