I’m sure I should have reacted in the same way as Mr Angry, which is why I never fly. It’s a form of claustrophobia – I also never travel by train if I can possibly avoid it, because passengers these days are powerless to open the windows and doors, and even to travel in a car with central locking is an ordeal.

Book Review – Inspires
Rabble-Rouser for Peace – the authorised biography of Desmond Tutu by John Allan (Rider Books – £18.99) Episcopal biographies are a very specialised form of literature. I remember during one of the many (over 50) interviews that formed a part of my selection for ministry being told that all that I needed to do was…

Daily Service
You can find a recording of St Mary’s Choir singing the music for the Daily Service here for seven days. They were singing in a rather empty sounding Wellington church.
