Dave Moran and Miss Brenda The readers write Dear Sir i would like to apologize for in sinuating that the fashion Slow put on by the Anglican Church was held in the church when in fact it was held in the high school auditorium. This was a misunderstanding on my part Ifowever, i would still question the appropriateness of a church put t ing on a fashion show in our self sufficient society it is easy to lose sight of our mission to the "outcasts" of our day. Jesus went to the sick. the lepers. the tax -collectors and the poor. When the Pharisees asked Jesus' disciples why Ile associated with sinners Ile replied "it is not those who are healthy who need a physician. but those who are sick' 1 cid not come to call the righteous hitt sinners" Mark 2:17. i would challenge Christians to re- examine Christ's mission while on earth (summarized in Luke 4:181 and to make every effort to have that same purpose today.
