Sir: Nobody seems to have noticed the demolition, this week, of Archbishop Carey's "stride into the moral maze" (6 July), in which he ridiculed any but "spiritual morality" as worthless. I refer to the hatred, violence, vandalism and arson committed by people in Northern Ireland, in a conflict demonstrably religious in nature, created and inflamed mainly by seeming church-going Christians.

I trust his Grace won't object if those of us who eschew his vaunted "spiritual" morality, and instead cling to our allegedly worthless but non-violent, anti-arson, anti-vandalism and anti-hatred "do-it-yourself" morality, continue in our disreputable and heathen ways?
