Ruth Gledhill, Times Religious Correspondent Extraordinaire, has just written this devastating critique of the official Lambeth Conference media operation.
At Lambeth, the journos have been divided into the ‘clean’ and ‘unclean’. You can guess which mob I’m corralled in with, and some of you probably think I deserve it. But pause to think for a moment. [...]

So just to be clear, you’re saying that Gene Robinson will not be presiding or con-celebrating?

“Hello, I’m a Kinsey 6. We defeated the Fantastic 4 and upstaged the Jackson 5 in 1973.”
Seriously, I’m fed up with labels as well.
I was there when Gay was just starting [...]

Ahh yes….
So I’ve been plagued for a few days by emails asking me what I think about GAFCON, the latest nonsense from the Church of England General Synod and other such what not. I’ve been sitting on my hands for a few days on all of this because I wanted to make sure that what [...]
