David Kalvelage's column [TLC, Feb. 15] notes that the Richmond Times Dispatch "took some cheap shots at the Episcopal Church in a recent editorial." Not having seen the entire editorial, but only a portion excerpted, I cannot see that the shots are cheap at all. Rather, it seems that they are smack on target. If anything, they address the "antics of the Anglican Communion's clergy" with more wit and verve than has been common in this tiny branch of the Anglican Communion in recent years. Indeed, I suspect that Bishop Griswold may very well feel like a ringmaster before his term of office as Presiding Bishop is over. Sometimes, when the truth hits too close to home, it hurts.
