Letter to The Editor - he would not have succumbed to simplistic slogans or have lacked compassion for those with whom he disagreed

to THE AGE
     Christ was not a ‘revolutionary’ (5/10) but a spiritual teacher calling those interested to seek ‘the kingdom of heaven’, a kingdom ‘not of this world’.  He did not approve of the sins of sinners, whether they were ‘the unpopular groups’ in society or members of the establishment.  He has left no record of how he would vote in the current postal survey; but one feels he would not have succumbed to simplistic slogans or have lacked compassion for those with whom he disagreed.
