The Week


I take 'The Week' which usually arrives on a Friday. It covers all the main stories in the life of the nation and the world and, possibly this may not surprise you, it made no mention of the turmoil facing the Anglican church. Not the merest little highlight, not the briefest of references, not the tinniest of snippets. It even failed to make the 'Boring but important' section. Nothing. Not a jot.

Last week, we had a 2 hour lecture at the diocese about the importance of the Anglican Communion. My response at the final Q&A was that, if we are prepared to be honest, nobody really cares. The goings on of Anglicanism and a load of funnily dressed Bishops, gay or otherwise, are irrelevant to our secular public consciousness. I don't know if anyone has noticed but increasingly nobody's coming to Church.

The Week seems to have proved my point......
