I was very disturbed to read ‘Jobs for the faithful’ (Features July 9). The main thrust of the article was to question whether it could be seen to be discriminatory practice for Christian organisations to insist that their management and staff should be practising Christians. It was obvious that the winter had focused in on certain extremist practices within minority groups and he was prepared to tar most other Christian-based organisations with the same brush.
