Church mergers make sense

Re: “Island churches’ urge to merge,” Jan. 5.

I was pleased to see a news item pertaining to church.

I recently wandered into a progressive United Church in the West Shore after the disaffection of almost four decades attending non-progressive faiths where women were not given equal opportunity, diversity was a dirty word and scripture was worshipped more than the Creator.

Mergers happen all the time, why not churches?
