To the Editor:

I will keep this letter short. What really frustrates the Rev. Doug Taylor? His mangled Letter to the Editor sounds like a less-slick version of some bogus Glenn Beck diatribe (“Fighting for our way of life,” TCT, Sept. 22, 2011, p. 3).

But my guess is that as an evangelical minister whose mission is to spread the gospel, he is frustrated his neighborhood and audience rapidly changed from would-be Christians, or those very receptive to the Gospels, to a neighborhood that is entrenched in a religion different from his. Maybe that’s the source of his frustration and why his letter makes no sense.

By the way, the 10-year crime rate on his street and neighboring street(s) is in consistent decline.
