[thought for the day] sunday evening

If people want a sense of purpose, they should get it from their archbishops. They should not hope to receive it from their politicians.

[Harold Macmillan - 1968]

Unfortunately, while it still might be the case with politicians, it's now also the case with archbishops. A lady named Catherine, on a forum just now, said, "Too many unbelievers preaching."

Presumably she meant that people were in charge who are more into how they are placed with the community and not with what their prime directive is.

Same with the pollies. Can we please have someone who has a clear policy, explains it well and has no intention of deviating from its basic principles without looking over his shoulder to see how it's been received?

  1. Yes one of the problems with the Dr Rowan Williams is that he keeps tying to appease other faiths instead of holding fast to the doctrine of his own....

    Not matter what your faith is and whether or not someone else agrees with it don't dilute what you believe with political correctness for the sake of religious integration.

  2. Possible TOS violation? What happened?!? Also, I agree. Churches seem to be different in this day and age.

  3. The church has become too complacent, too establishment. Perhaps the UK has been civilised too long.

  4. I agree with you here. Williams rambles on so much that I can't work out what he is on about and even when I can it's nonsence. You know where you are with a Pope.
