Letter: From Mr Glen Whittaker

Sir: It is really unimportant how Christ died, or indeed whether he was executed at all. If, instead, he had received a vote of thanks and a life pension from Pontius Pilate, and was elected King of Israel by the Jews, it would not alter or diminish in any way the message he had for humankind.

Yours sincerely,

GLEN WHITTAKER

Brighton, Sussex
