In his prison letters, he deplores the tendency of religious apologists to concentrate on the weaknesses of the secular world-view ....'

Exchange

Ireland: Cottage with duty, summer 2006
'I am Rector of a group of parishes in the south west of Ireland, based around the town of Skibbereen. During the months of June, July, August and September a cottage is available in the seaside village of Baltimore for clergy and their families to stay in. In return the parish asks the clergyperson to take two services on a Sunday, and pay a modest rent of 50 euros per week, to cover expenses. The rent usually in the area is upwards of 800 euros per week, so our scheme does enable clergy to enjoy the splendid surroundings for a fairly small outlay'. More information: The Reverend Bruce Hayes <abbeystrewry@eircom.net>
