Richmond - The Editor, My family came to this great nation from Scotland in 1883 and settled in the Richmond area known as Lulu Island. We have been here for four generations.I am shocked by the statement that somehow Christians are more moral than Buddhists. The Richmond residents who have prepared thousands of meals and have donated to hospitals are hurt by these connotations.Canada is a great nation, we should welcome diversity. I support the Union Gospel Mission's endeavors and, during Christmas, have worked on the streets of the Lower Mainland. I have also worked with Richmondbased not-for-profits, assisting the most desperate of our society.To denigrate a religious organization publically is disheartening. Our members are hurt by this. We are good people. I am personally hurt these comments were uttered at the government level.In my opinion, the volunteers and masters at Lingyen Mountain Temple should be given a medal for the public service they provide - not public humiliation.Let's work together in harmony and instill civic pride and celebrate contributions from all faiths and ethnic backgrounds.Scott McMynRichmond
