Editor,

Despite the fact that the 100 Mile House District Council recently opposed the adoption of a “neutral zone” bylaw, it is my hope that council would agree that taking sides on particular issues of ideology or religion would not serve the public interest.

Let me be specific. I hold strongly to Christian principles with respect to marriage and family.  But if I were to propose to council that the village fly a flag with the image of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, I am certain that they would not entertain the idea, on the principle of neutrality.
