Joe Boswell writes: Re. "Barry O'Farrell gets tough with NSW brothels" (yesterday). Chris Seage's piece referred to "a disgraceful recommendation" that would allow brothels to be located near churches.

I am puzzled: who thinks it disgraceful - the churches or the brothels?

Don't churches welcome the chance to engage with sinners?

What would Jesus do?

I understand he was so inclusive he not only had followers who were prostitutes & adulterers, he even made a disciple of Matthew, a tax collector.
