    That has to be a record! Twice in four days.

    Thanks David | Dah•veed – I think that all Anglicans are lumped together. I am indeed not in English orders.

It seems, upon reading this book,…

  • The Pink List

    Am absolutely delighted to have been included in the Independent on Sunday’s Pink List of the LGBT great and the good. It is quite a list. Pity there isn’t a party to get everyone on it together. It would be good to see more clerics on the list (there are none except Lionel Blue, I…
