LETTERS FROM OUR READERS

Extend mercy

As the Irish and Catholics were once rejected ("New neighbors," Feb. 9/16), in many ways Hispanics are rejected today. Our national policies need work, but they're no excuse for speaking ill of our new neighbors. It's awful how "Mexican jokes" are common even among children. We should extend mercy, acceptance, and the gospel instead of telling them to go home—a home that often includes drugs, poverty, and darkness.
—Hannah Johnson; Powhatan, Va.

"New neighbors" is a big dish of food for thought. Our history of immigration and integration has been a marvel of assimilation. But today, with some Muslims and those of other Eastern religions determined to impose anti-Christian principles, we now have a mind-boggling problem. How can we integrate oil and water—Christianity and its antithesis? We can't make room for sin but we must love the sinner.
—Jack Simmons; Venice, Fla.
