Why not more letters?

To the editor:

For decades I read on a weekly basis the Virginia Baptist state newspaper, the Religious Herald. It was through the Herald that I kept up with state and national Baptist news.

One of my favorite sections was the Letters to the Editor. It was always interesting to read the opinions of others concerning the various issues of the day.

I know BNG has no control over whether or not people write, but the dearth of letters is disappointing. Ten letters in two years?

BNG writers have addressed a number of very important issues with some very thoughtful essays. (Some of which have been controversial in their own right.) Has this not stirred more than just 10 people to write? Just asking.
