Dear Editor,

The home is a place that should be filled with love and commitment. It should be a place where discussion takes place in the best interest of the home and compromise made for the sake of stability in the home.

Dear Editor,

Kindly allow me space in your paper to share my opinion regarding the above subject and more especially the comments which a certain person claiming to be a political observer made in your issue 3118.

The political observer had branded the Presbyterian church of Vanuatu as Double standard based on the fact that the church raised its concern on the actions of former speaker for banning media from parliament.
