		The MoD refused to reveal what the report said yesterday, but it was clearly incendiary enough for the navy to take the almost unprecedented step of ordering Cmdr Axon to hand over command to the executive officer - his No 2 - and return to the UK at the earliest opportunity.

		Amy called Rose's book "incendiary" and a "purported exposéé." She said the book should be read with a "healthy dose of skepticism." She claimed that the thesis of the book is a "churchwide conspiracy against the orthodox and straight" in the seminaries.

		Incendiary does have a negative connotation to the average reader.
