Faith
WRITING CRITICALLY as regards religion, does not of course mean that the writer’s views are expressed.
A writer should have the ability to look at a subject from every angle; to express views that are not their own but which may well resonate with many.
If the opposite view is taken, then the exponent of that view is advocating censorship.
There is a time and place for censorship.
But censorship applied - in such a way - so as to promote or protect simply one religion or creed, is nothing more than dictatorship.
Religion does not automatically equate to faith.
Faith is able to automatically embrace all religions, see the dovetailing, see the eccentricities and reject warped ideology and outdated fundamentalism.
Faith is able to see the awe and wonder of science and physics without, in any way, detracting from the supernatural origin of the Universe.

His website, kennwebb.com, showcases his work as a writer, blogger and podcaster, resting on his successive careers as a police officer, progressing to a junior lawyer in succession and trusts as a Fellow of the Institute of Legal Executives, a retired officer with the Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve, and latterly, for three years, the owner and editor of two lifestyle magazines in Liverpool.
He also just handed over a successful two year chairmanship in Gloucestershire with Cheltenham Regency Probus.

In this fast-paced present age, proof-reading is essential. And this skill also occasionally leads to copy-editing writers’ manuscripts for submission to publishers and also student and post graduate dissertations.
