There have been a few (episcopal) head over the parapet moments recently that should not go unspotted.

Firstly, Bishop Idris’s interview on Good Friday. (I was too occupied listening to Fr Primus preaching on Good Friday that I did not spot it at the time). It can be found here.

Then there was Bishop Robert’s piece in the Scotsperson challenging the idea that the only possible Christian view on embryo research is that held by Cardinal Keith Patrick O’Brian. It can be found here. Reportage here.

Just so that he does not feel left out, let us list Bishop David’s response to Bishop Devine. It can be found here. Worth listing again, as an interesting discussion got going in the comments. I’m very pleased that the SEC blogging connections are leading to such conversation.

Seems to me that all those mitre over the parapet contributions have been thoughtful, measured and well made and all are to be welcomed.
