to Rob O'Connor. I guess the
days of responsible journalism are
gone. Upon reading your article on the
"fashionable and tiresome" African
famine relief songs, the lack of
research you displayed was obvious to
me.
I agree that with the amount of
radio play these songs receive, they do
becomc tiresome. Yet, doesn't the purpose
of the songs completely overshadow
that? These songs will save
lives, that's what matters.
I also found your attack on Bruce
Springsteen completely unfounded.

Your most obvious error was in referring
to him as egotistical and selfish.
Bruce's charitable contributions this
year are approaching $500,000 and still
rising. In fact, while here in Columbia,
he plugged for a state food bank and in
Greensboro, N.C. he wrote a personal
check in the amount of $10,000 to
another local food bank. In every city
he has tried to find at least one local
charitv to suonort.
About your comment on Bruce's
bank account and choice of clothes, I

Who really cares who comes out

you give a little more thought about

To the editor:
,7 I am writing to comment on James Galloway's recent letter
(February 22) in praise of the Golden Kule. l find it
disturbing that Galloway, a self-proclaimed "ceremonyloving
Episcopalian/' should d o co much in four brief
paragraphs to exalt one precept from Scripture (q.v. Mat
the* 7t i2) at the expense of the rest or ttte uospei ana t ne
Church. Reading his letter, one would think that he enjoins
his fellow Christians to be more tike his good, shiest
^Hat Oalloway*should praise his unchurched friend ai4'
faithful adherent of Christ's teaching does not grieve me In
the least. What worries me^is his distilling jhe Church's
aatherines These he nrcsumablv takes to be churchy lux
uries that supplement the sole necessity of the Christians
spiritual diet: viz. obedience to the Golden Rule.
As an episcopalian myself I have cause to take issue with
him on this unhealthy muddling of the Christianas
priorities. Galloway, so it seems, ha* forgotten that the
Church is "what's left after the sanctuary and parish house
have burnt to the ground." In failing to understand the
Church to be the body of believers in Christ, he has confused
the Christian center with its periphery. In the Anglican
tradition <to which both of us adhere), the Word and the
. Eucharist, are clearly fixed to the center of thing*, while
b-fellowship breakfasts an<| stately professions belong strict
