...moderate Christian, I appreciated the evocation of several tenets of Christianity as well as the references to those of agnosticism and atheism. I stand by the belief that Mother Teresa was as close to God as humanly possible. I agree with writer David Van Biema that a parallel exists between Christ's final moments on the Cross and Teresa's final 50 years, during which she didn't feel the presence of God. In both cases, the acts of self-sacrifice and feelings of abandonment resulted in the most profound contributions to the welfare of human souls. Teresa's life...

But it seems that there's so many similar things [between Vietnam and Iraq]. Sometimes the best way to reflect on something is through parallel history. Patton came out during Vietnam; Little Big Man came out during Vietnam; M*A*S*H* came out during Vietnam. They were all about other wars. Sometimes you can tell more about a war now by paralleling a previous...
...Thank you for the insightful article describing Mother Teresa's crisis of faith [Sept. 3]. I appreciated the evocation of several tenets of Christianity as well as those of agnosticism and atheism. I believe Mother Teresa was as close to God as humanly possible, and I agree that a parallel exists between Christ's final moments on the Cross and Mother Teresa's final 50 years, during which she didn't feel the presence of God. Her life of faith, dedication and commitment despite incredible spiritual trials should inspire us all, regardless of our religious inclinations. Barbara Bailey, Rockledge, Florida...
