The Mail
Your “Scripture Scoop” feature titled “What Is Social Sin?” (January-February 2023) caught my attention and was thought-provoking.

I enjoy your magazine, especially the Bible Quiz, every month. This February issue had several things I want to comment on: First, the ashes pictures made me laugh. “Awash in the Joy of Conversion” was great in renewing my commitment to go to confession. And I can’t wait to read...
