Editor,
Lately, I hear more and more cases of extremist Christians offending the general public in attempts to "save" us. It is painful to hear about Christians being stereotyped as war-mongering, judgmental, self-righteous naysayers - especially by those who are extremists themselves.
On the other hand, it's people like Matt Bourgault who make Christians like me feel ashamed. Quite plainly, I think the man has forgotten Christ's message of love, compassion and forgiveness to those who seek it.
I'm curious as to what the Consuming Fire Campus Ministries has to offer as far as fellowship, but I don't wish to give it the pleasure of my attendance to its meetings. I want to apologize for people like Bourgault, who contribute to the bad reputation given to the majority of Christians who are trying to live their lives in peace in a nation of growing anxiety toward religion and spirituality.
