There is a sick theme running through all of this - or at least a clear attempt to involve some form of mental illness, and an attempt to bring in the people in white coats - well, at least psychologists if not psychiatrists.
Hey, I really, really don’t want to jump on the bandwagon and pour [...]

I’m not quite sure what ‘normal’ is, but I’m pretty sure that I’m not it. When the roulette wheel of life flung out its genes, mine fell somewhere near the far edge of the distribution curve, not in the middle. I am learning to live with that. At times it has been unpleasant: at other [...]

Archbishop Akinola has led opposition by some European and American Anglicans to the ordaining of gay priests and he is a voice to be reckoned with. Even [...]

Dr Who has been summonsed in an attempt to ward off the imminent threat of extermination.

I can understand a sentimental attachment to the notion of unity. What I find difficult is the concept that the appearance of unity must be preserved at all costs, even when it doesn’t exist.
The Anglican church is tearing itself apart over the issue of homosexuality, and at present, church politicians are burning candles at [...]

Many religions have always expressed an interest in the way people dress and wear their hair, although traditionally most of the attention was focused on women. The concepts of ‘modesty’ and ‘hidden’ occur in the holy books written by men. One of the strangest things I have discovered in recent months is that at [...]
