Worth
Noting
'Beware
– I would say to believers – the patronage of unbelievers'
In The Spectator, Matthew Paris writes 'It is the atheists, who
think this God business matters, who are on your side'.
The
defence of Christianity needs a little more nuance Theo
Hobson, in the aforenamed Spectator, asserts that
'Our Christian tradition is complicated. Very complicated.
If you know of anything more complicated on the face of
the planet, please let me know. In fact, please don't'.
Giving
up Community for Lent?:
'In the past few years, I’ve noticed a growing trend in Lenten
disciplines: 40 days without Facebook. It seems, at first
glace, to be an honourable task, and I hope that those who
have made the commitment find it meaningful in their paschal
journeys. However (you knew there was a but, didn’t you?),
having made my share of misguided promises in Lents gone
by, I wonder if giving up on social networking can really
guarantee the quietness of mind and depth of relationships
that some perceive it can.' Jesse Dymond writes on the Anglican
Church of Canada's website.
