    Yes! It's the feminist, inclusive, gender neutered empowering take on the res errection in its' trans state full of deep meaning as perceived by the modern Church in Wales. All five tons of it!

    A high-priestess anoints a graven image. Or do my eyes mislead me? Christianity?

    "Begone foul fiend of orthodoxy or I'll turn you to stone. Oops, that's done it! I suppose the coven will be pleased that their voucher for Hogwarts wasn't wasted. I think His Grace will be pleased too. This sort of fellow doesn't fit in with the new enlightened ethos of the Church in Wales."

    Seymour is absolutely right, one of my (validly) ordained friends recently remarked that she appears to be making a prick of St. David. One can only hope that the faithful people of Brittany have an antidote for it.

    If you Google 'The Valley of The Saints' you'll see where the statue is going, joining some wonderful statues of Celtic Saints. They are all in the same style and St David will be a welcome addition. I hope they site him near Saint Cadoc (Cado). I used to live just five miles from the valley and it is a most mystical place.
