MAKE no mistake (RW Tucker, Oxford Mail ViewPoints, December 12) I understood what you meant first time.

However, if you succeed in selling the Bishop’s robes (which you won’t) the money can be used by the church to pay widows, and orphans, as per scripture, and any pensioners who are having difficulty keeping warm.

My reference to the ‘King of Kings’ is NOT rubbish. When I was taught at East Oxford School, I paid attention to my RE teacher. Perhaps the school had cancelled RE lessons in your day?

She explained to us that our Lord took on a simple life here to come close and relate to the likes of me. He came from riches into poverty, was not wanted by the majority, so returned to riches, where he now is.

And let’s have it correct, being a carpenter is of no ‘simple taste’ as you say, it is a very clever skill. Pity there aren’t more.

I hope that you get my meaning.
