Letter: No evangelicals here

Sir: Martin Whitfield has perhaps been led to exaggerate the vulnerability of S. Mary Magdalen to 'electric guitars and dancing' ('High Church choristers hit the road', 11 August).

If he - or any of your readers, in fact - cares to join us for the celebration of the Solemnity of the Assumption of the Mother of God this Sunday at the 10.30am High Mass, he will find our tradition of Catholic worship unimpaired; and although he will share that worship with a congregation holding a diversity of views, he will search hard in the clouds of incense for 'Low Church evangelicals'.

Yours etc,
