Could this be because "letter-writing" as a skill is no longer a subject taught extensively in primary, secondary, or post-secondary education? <BR/><BR/>Or, I wonder, would the blogger be just as horrified could she hear some of the sermons that are preached from the pulpit? <BR/><BR/>Part of the issue could be that pastors feel the need to be "inspirational" at all times. A pastoral letter in a newsletter is an excellent way to inform the congregation of news or issues in the local ecumenical community or in the wider church. It can also briefly address a topic that, for time reasons, cannot be done in a sermon or a Sunday School class.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
