Dean's advice merits doubt, not great texts

[VirtueOnline] April 26, 2006--Last Saturday, the Very Rev. Tracey Lind, dean of Trinity Episcopal Cathedral, urged The Plain Dealer's Christian readers to approach the great texts of Holy Week with, in her well-turned phrase, "respectful suspicion." With due respect for Lind and the griefs that trouble her, it seems to this Christian preacher that our suspicion is properly directed not at the great texts but at the dean's advice on how to listen to them.
