First out the traps for elections?

Sir, – Sean O Kiersey (January 25th) asks if he is "alone in thinking that canvassing inside the church doors in January for elections not due until May 1st is a bit much?" Surely this begs the question – if canvassing at any time, for any cause, inside the doors of a place of worship "is a bit much"?

Sacred space should be exactly that – not hijacked for the distribution of propaganda for any party. The very parties who argue for a separation of church and State. – Yours, etc,
