People who run cathedrals in the Scottish Episcopal Church are called Provosts, in England and in the US and in much of the rest of the Anglican world they are called Deans.

Before that it was Jehovah’s…

Politics and Religion
From my experience, politics can bring out the best in people, whilst religion often brings out the worst. one of the reasons that I have kept up my involvement in a political party is that in my experience people are much nicer to one another than in the church generally. I know that is shocking…
