SIR - Jesus exhorts us to love our enemies and do good to people who hate us.

This policy would mean bringing troops home, destroying tanks and sinking warships. It would also mean disbanding the British legion and abandoning faith in military intervention and defensive warfare.

So what shall we do? Make our views known. Join demonstrations. Write to the papers and the religious press. Hold regular outdoor prayer vigils. Celebrate the loving, creative power evolving with us and within us. Share these words that Jesus taught us: “Our Father in Heaven”.
