Letter: Doing good
While one may rightly deplore such horrific cruelty, as a matter of balance it should be acknowledged that the Christian churches have been in the vanguard of compassionate service in the foundation of hospitals, schools, engineering, agriculture, sanitation and the supply of clean water in many countries.
I also note that the president of Malawi has rescinded the 14-year jail sentence imposed on a gay couple. Perhaps it is worth remembering that in the not too distant past, homosexual behaviour in this country was considered a criminal offence and famously landed Oscar Wilde in prison for two years.
