Dear Collegian,
Thank you for publishing the essay “Christian Ideals Can Contribute to Acceptance of Domestic Violence” by Charlotte Graham and the accompanying illustration by Parker Wilhelm. I don’t think the verb “force” in the sentence “These basic beliefs force a practicing Christian to make excuses for their abusers,” is accurate, but other than that, I thought it was a very brave and thoughtful essay. I am very proud of the Collegian for its willingness to publish a wide range of sincere commentary, even if that commentary may be challenging or unwelcome to some members of the University community.
Sincerely,
Joshua McGinn
