It ruins the lives of people at the extreme left, who are forced beyond their abilities. And it ruins the lives of people at the extreme right, whose talents are stamped out and spat upon, and who are tortured with day after day of excruciating boredom.Elijah Armstrongnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4683970826895755480.post-64800880224977402122013-03-22T02:55:40.381+00:002013-03-22T02:55:40.381+00:00The Daily Mail's rendition of the Canterbury e...The Daily Mail's rendition of the Canterbury event was shocking enough to become funny. It outdid Fawlty Towers in surreal craziness. <br />Honestly, it had more in common with the Notting Hill Carnival that with anything C of E. <br />Wonder no more why the C of E is approaching extinction.

It's a pity it ended in criminal violence.<br />He chose not to offer his talents as he did not want the modern society he hated to benefit.<br />Others who do offer their talents such as James Watson are attacked by the "thought police" as soon as they verbalize any thoughts that clash with leftist dogma.<br />I guess smart people are not that great at "playing dumb" or "toeing the line" to safeguard their careers and we end up with institutions full of compliant watered down talent!stephensnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4683970826895755480.post-63636957969799845292013-03-21T18:48:29.553+00:002013-03-21T18:48:29.553+00:00OT

CoE seems dead and gone.<br /><br />But some Anglicans from the Global South seem to have remained strong, and have distanced themselves from some of this stuff. http://gafcon.org/<br /><br />I am astonished and dismayed by how many people, that I might have supposed to know better, seem impressed by Welby. Yet the man is pure public sector middle manager: off the peg, stamped out in thousands - it dribbles out of his mouth, drools through his prose, oozes from every pore.

As the 57-year-old former oil executive was made leader of a global flock of 77million Anglicans he said: 'I come knowing nothing except Jesus Christ and him crucified, and in weakness and fear and in much trembling.' More than 2,000 people including dozens of religious leaders from around the globe, Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall, gathered to see him become head of a church facing turmoil over gay marriage and women bishops. <b>For the first time in history a woman took a central role in the ceremony, which also featured Punjabi music, a blessing from an African archbishop and improvised organ music. </b><br /><br />What a disgusting farrago of nonsense.JPnoreply@blogger.com
