I was at the Hay on Wye Festival and saw Rowan Williams’ conversation with AN Wilson [as opposed to AN Other...] and was strangely affected by the conversation (reported Here in a very curtailed manner but what do expect from an hour?) and Rowan’s answers to questions…
Now, I feel, I must point out that Rowan [...]

It’s all very well to say

I wouldn’t have started from here…
Up to now I’ve been having a go at folk who throw stones – which is a self-serving task if ever there was one – from liberals like the Inclusive Church to conservatives such as those from Forward in Faith – and because I’m more aware of one side (the [...]
Throwing stones…

Just as a quick note/warning this post is going to be a medley or smorgasborg of different strands with the main theme as the title… So if you reach that which you are interested in then you can either keep reading or just plain go enjoy yourself somewhere else, dear reader…
On the cinematic front I’ve [...]

or tipped off by an anonymous commentator.
I don’t know quite when Giles Fraser’s attempts to bring the Church of England up to his standards began but he does seem to reduce the issues to their basest levels. Over women he talks about misogyny and to an extent he’s probably right, about gay couples or priests [...]
What with problems over folks views

getting in the press at the moment – the registrar who has successfully defended her ‘christian’ stance against registering homosexual couple’s civil partnership on grounds on religious toleration – somewhat ironically… just over a quarter of bishops in the anglican fold are staying away from Lambeth – the big tent occasion within the anglican fold… [...]

about the women bishops thing [nevermind the rather odd observation that it's always 'women' and not 'female'?]…
There’s a long list of different links to other folks thoughts to be found on The Church Times Blog here… and there is a good variety of thought but instead of just leaving it there – I am wondering [...]
At what price women bishops?

Well, although the vote to get women bishops has won through nobody seems happy about it. The ‘fudge’ would seem to leave an universally bitter taste.
Prior to the vote some including Robert Key a tory MP, amongst others had sounded off saying that any ‘legislation’ which the church of england passes better seem to be [...]
The decision is going to be made

tomorrow about whether women can become bishops and what measures there will be to try to pacify those that object. I have come to the conclusion that I should at least come out and say what I think to begin with – I don’t think there should be women priests and so I’m going to [...]
Just not satisfied with anything short of a full endorsement

is Giles Fraser and, seemingly, his fellows. For some who have read my articles with Giles Fraser at the sharp end may be surprised to know that before I decided to write this post I thought that I should sleep on it. To be honest, it was for two reasons – one was that I [...]
Before I read the Archbishop’s response

I thought about the idea that, like others who have broken away in the past, perhaps it is time for the Church of England to be brave enough to break away from itself and to see who will follow… Perhaps a radical break could mean that the old debate about the reconciliation of Methodists is [...]
