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.

The goings on of Anglicanism and a load of funnily dressed Bishops, gay or otherwise, are irrelevant to our secular public consciousness.
