Letter: Which tradition?
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sir: In your report of remarks by the Archdeacon of York ('Support grows for Prince in succession row', 8 December), you describe the archdeacon as a 'Church of England traditionalist'.
There is a tradition in Christianity which says, 'Judge not, that ye be not judged', and 'Thou shalt not go up and down as a talebearer among thy people.' This tradition goes back to Jesus himself, and to the Jewish law beyond. May I ask to what tradition the archdeacon adheres?
Yours faithfully,
