Letters From Our Readers
“Foy’s courageous stands on the social issues of civil and women’s rights stand out in my memory. . . . He could take such stands and not be bitter about the opposition. . . . He was indeed a man for all seasons . . . what a privilege it was to know him.”
Judy B. Brooks, San Mateo, CA.
“How I will miss that good man-you introduced me to Dr. Foy at a CLC seminar . . . how he lived up to all my expectations.”
Jim Crouch, Hamilton, TX.
“Our dear Foy is in our S.S. class . . . he is really funny, a delightful moral man, dear Lord how we need so many more of him . . . I feel like if he prays for me God stops what he is doing and listens right then.”
Naomi Stanley,Park CitiesBC, Dallas, TX.
“When I read CET, familiar emotions rise up in me reminding me that I am not alone on the journey that seems to be inexorably on a darker and drearier path. My denomination has left me, my country has left me, and at times I feel like God has left us all. Then I get a copy of your magazine that speaks such assurance and comfort to my heart that it’s like the Holy Spirit coming to me folded and stapled whispering encouragement.”
Ragan Courtney, the Sanctuary, Austin, TX.
“I mentioned Christian Ethics Today to Hardy Clemons-he told me that CET was one of two periodicals that he reads every month. I have not been a reader but I want to be. How do I get a subscription?”
Bill Little, St. Charles, MO. [Answer: Just send us your address for the free subscription]
“It was good to have you . . . at Truett for the CET conference. . . . it was an outstanding conference. Thanks for the good work you are doing.”
Paul W. Powell, Dean of Truett Theological Seminary.
“How much I enjoy CET. You are doing a great work on a small budget. My grandson John Kenneth Burk finished Baylor and Truett, then he went to Princeton for a Masters in Ethics and is now in Edinburgh, Scotland working on his PhD-he wants to teach Ethics.”
Fred V. Richards, MD, San Antonio, TX. [Note: We contacted John, sent several issues of CET and books-he responded with an article in this issue.]
“I’ve really enjoyed reading the past CET issues. They are fresh, timely and smart. Moreover, they are Christian-a real rarity these days, especially when it includes those former three attributes. Keep up the good work!”
Clint Rainey, University of Texas Journalism student.
“I am a (recovering) Liberty University graduate and very intentionally sought Eastern University/Palmer Seminary as a place of social, political and theological refuge. As a ‘black sheep’ formerly living in Jerry Land I can’t tell you how important, refreshing and encouraging it is for me to find a publication like yours.”
Robert W. Gauthier, Assistant to Dr. Tony Campolo, St. Davids, PA.
“CET is by far the best publication that comes through my mailbox. Thank your for your contribution to ethics, and logic!”
Mike Mitchell, Ft. Payne, AL.
“Since a friend added my name to your mailing list, I have devoured ever issue, and I am blessed. . . . It’s nice to remember there are many Christians who still believe that love is more important than legalism.”
Don Claybrook, Sr., Elk, CA.
“I continue to give thanks for Audra’s recovery and for your being able to continue the work that means so much to many of us . . . I wonder, of course what the warning of a change of address bodes for your lives and for us your readers.”
Pat Gillis, Statesboro, GA.
Editor’s Note: To Pat and to many inquirers, Audra is doing wonderfully well, back to normal strength and activity (including her 3 mile daily walk)-the successful surgery found no evidence of cancer cells in the margins or lymph nodes. After precautionary chemo and radiation treatments, she is now receiving the new drug Herceptin (adds 10% to her prognosis for no recurrence, putting her in the 90%+ category, for which we are extremely grateful. Our move to Robson Ranch (an Active Adult Community just south of Denton at Exit 79 on I-35W), is a lifestyle move that includes two daughters and six grandchildren nearby, as well as a better location for the Journal. Your prayers and concern have sustained and encouraged us. Please visit us if you are in the neighborhood.
