Earlier this year (April), you carried for me an advert seeking the recovery of certain items "presumed stolen". Of course, there was no response.

The Reverend John Webster (Letters, November 30) avers that prayers are answered in most practical ways. He quotes deliverance from hydrophobia as a recent example.

May I therefore suggest all local churches unite in special prayer for the forgiveness of sins committed by some members of their congregations.

It is clear to me some church-going Christians are not all saints.
