AS a minister in the Church of England, I am involved in a nationwide survey to assess the enormous impact war in Iraq is having on people's morale and religious attitudes, and their outlook for the future. I would be grateful if I could use your Letters page to help with this research.
I invite readers to send me their views on any of the following -- Has the war in Iraq significantly changed your outlook on life? Were you in favour of the conflict? Are you still confident about the future?
Forty-eight per cent of those who replied to an earlier national survey monitoring changing attitudes in the aftermath of September 11 came from church attenders who said that they remained confident about the future because Bible prophecy promises that Christ will return to stop humanity from destroying itself.
Media fascination with the best-seller "The Bible Code" has greatly increased interest in Bible predictions. Please send your views to the address below, marking your envelope "Iraq survey". Results will be published in the press in the autumn.
