Every so often, there is a letter in The Argus expressing regret for the defunct West Pier. How anyone can get consolation from a rusting hulk is beyond me.

However, the West Pier Trust could help mankind by directing its attention to saving churches in this area. The first one needing help is St Leonards Church, New Church Road, Hove.

Regrettably, the community has lost the art of living together. We now have road rage, supermarket rage and A&E department rage, all because we have turned our backs on religion.

I realise that attending church regularly does not necessarily make you a Christian but spending a little time in church helps you to reflect.

Surely it isn't necessary to have a Third World War to create a community spirit such as that of the Forties. Just treat others as you wish to be treated and show respect for one another.
