Some of you complain to us from time to time about your mail service. You tell us that your magazine sometimes isn't delivered on a timely basis. We don't have that problem at this end. The mail always goes through. See for yourself:

From San Diego: Why don't you poll your readers on important issues? Dear San: We considered it, but it sounds awfully painful. Ed. From Central Pennsylvania: The diatribe, spleen and unmitigated lack of Christian charity which is the hallmark of the Episcopal Church is reflected admirably in your pages.

Dear Central: Thanks so much for the compliment. Ed. From Michigan: Your letters to the editor seem to represent the lunatic fringes. Dear Michigan: Now you've done it. Watch those letters now. Ed. From Connecticut: TLC needs a new editor - someone who is not entrapped in Midwestern Anglo-Catholicism ca. 1935.

Dear Connecticut: That's it! I could have saved all those shrink bills. Ed. From Virginia: TLC used to be the voice of Anglo-Catholics. What happened? Dear Virginia: A cynic might respond that all the Anglo-Catholics have left, but you won't catch me saying it. Ed. From Newark: Your attempts at humor are peevish, pitiful and pathetic. Dear Newark: You didn't identify yourself, but I know who you are. Didn't you write some books? Ed. From Chicago: TLC's attacks on our Presiding Bishop are typical of the conservative bias which plagues the magazine.

Dear Chicago: Attacks? Surely you're referring to some other publication. Ed. From Southwest Florida: The continued liberal shift of your magazine comes at a time when the church desperately needs a conservative voice. Dear Southwest: Maybe that person above in Chicago knows where one can be found. Ed.

From Michigan: Why wasn't TLC represented at the Lambeth Conference? Dear Michigan: I suggest you direct your question to the communications department of the Anglican Communion Office in London. Ed.

From Washington: When is TLC going to start looking like a contemporary magazine? Dear Washington: Glad you asked. It starts with next week's issue. Ed. From Rhode Island: The people who write the letters to the editor make me so mad I want to cancel my subscription. But I don't want to miss an issue. I'm hopeless! Dear Rhode: Tell some of your friends. Maybe we can make them mad, too. Ed.
