REGARDING your Comment 'Praise for fresh ideas on religion' (LET, January 3), I am concerned and upset with your comments that we, at St Anne's Church, Fence, only have old-time religion after the consistory court gave us permission to re-instate the choir stalls.

I wondered if you had attended St Anne's Church over the Christmas period to witness our Carol service, Christingle services and Christmas services to see for yourself our 'Old-Time Religion.' You probably wouldn't have got a seat anyway.

Please do not make comments without first finding proof of your statements.
