Unpublished Letter to the Editor of The Sun About Val Kilmer

This was an unpublished letter to the editor of The Sun in response to a piece done on Val Kilmer.

Dear Editor

It was good to read in the article (Ice to See You) about Val Kilmer’s return to the big screen in the film Top Gun 2.  He’s long been a favourite actor to watch and your article certainly captures his remarkable focus, determination and bravery as an actor. However, I might note that your brief comment regarding his faith, Christian Science, may mislead readers.

Christian Scientists believe in a God that embraces the universe including humanity in divine goodness and love. This does not mean, however, that its followers casually deny the existence of disease nor believe negative thoughts create disease.

Rather in the face of such hardships, with a deep and enduring faith, they turn to this tangible sense of the presence of God as love that inspires and heals. I’m grateful that this type of prayer has brought healing of physical illness as well as other problems to my own life. 

Sincerely

Kylie Sisson
