  Guardian | Bishop finds Afghan echo in Christmas story
A bishop has startled his flock by insisting the Christmas message should include secret police, the massacre of children by troops and contemplation of the baby Jesus as a refugee and asylum seeker.

 Albion Magazine Online Books: Godfrey Smith's English Companion, Richard Lewis' The Magic Spring, Xenophobes' Guide to ...
Richard Lewis' The Magic Spring: My Year Learning to be English is one of the most unusual and delightful books of 2005.
Lewis is far too fond of sentence fragments and has an unfortunate tendency to repeat himself, particularly small anecdotes and incidents connected to the folk revival.
Here the chief problem is that Lewis becomes too preoccupied by the “Pagan or Christian?” debate surrounding the origins of folk culture, and whether or not certain folk traditions are genuine.

 The Observer | Comment | Science does not challenge my faith - it strengthens it
Richard Dawkins has produced two films suggesting that religion, not the love of money, is the root of all evil and he has a new book on the subject out later in the year.
I had betrayed reason, he argued, just because I was religious and betrayed faith because I did not seek to apply Old Testament injunctions without qualification to modern society.

 Thinking Anglicans: bishops oppose Trident
Presumably the Bishops who didn't sign think that the Bishops who did sign are a bunch of pacifist idiots who have no expertise on the majority of what they talk about in their statement.
I was at a meeting last night when one of the signatories gave a talk on the outrage of God at what has been done to his creation, and I think that was very much at the front of +wherever's mind in signing the letter.
These Bishops are ignorant concerning the field they are commenting on, and I consider their comments an abuse of their office to further their own personal political interests.
