Inspired epistles

We suspect some lateral thinking behind the delightful presentation of YM epistles by Gerard Benson (from which we print some extracts on page 12).
Gerard, who was an actor in his working life, beguiled BYM with a charmingly edited pastiche of epistles from around the world. This is an enjoyable, uplifting - and possibly diplomatic - way to present material which can sometimes be culturally variable and uncomfortable for us in Britain.
