  14. Not a caption....rather a question......can the Archbishop actually justify an assistant Bishop if the average attendance in the CiW is APX 20,000 ? Does that require 7 full-time Bishops, especially when having so many hasn't halted the decline.....

  17. The comments section on this blog seems to provide a helpful safety-valve for those with understandably strong feelings about current issues in Church and state. Some contributors, however, let their feelings get the better of them and pour forth what can only be described as pure venom. May I suggest "in omnibus caritas" as a guiding principle? (See wikipedia ad loc for the accompanying words about unity and liberty.) And while on the subject of general principles, would it not be a good idea if comments stuck strictly to the matter in hand, i.e. to the subject of the relevant post? Rather fewer than a third of the (to date) 39 comments on this post are actually what were asked for, captions for the photograph of the two bishops.

    5. Yes I quite agree Matthew, but there are times when we are called to name what is vitriol and call it out. As I say, these regular caption invitations only invite ridicule and I question whether ever anything good can come of them. They’re often unpleasant and deeply personal and demeaning. Shameful.

    4. Perhaps we might learn from history - the ‘father of the computer’, Alan Turing, admitted sex with another man in 1952 and as part of his punishment, he received monthly injections at Manchester Royal Infirmary. The so-called ‘chemical castration’ drug, which contained the female hormone estrogen, was designed to inhibit patient’s sex drive. But it caused Turing to become depressed and caused his suicide. Let's see the Church in Wales lend its support to a campaign like this - I'm sure people will then come flocking back to the pews.

      LG

      Delete
    5. Turing, despite his education and genius in his chosen field, knowingly engaged in activities he knew full well to be illegal and knew the consequences if he got caught.
      As for your diagnosis of his depression, were you his GP?
      One suspects a far more likely explanation for any such depression, and the very sad outcome, was the fact he'd been found out, charged, taken to Court, pleaded guilty and subsequently had his name splashed all over the press for all the wrong reasons.
      Further facts are that Turing opted for the chemical DES treatment as a means of avoiding a custodial sentence for his crimes. The evidence surrounding his sad death was also consistent with accidental cyanide poisoning although the inquest at the time recorded a verdict of suicide.
      One lesson from history is that matters are often more nuanced and rarely as straight forward as you suggest LG.

      Try checking your facts first before engaging in your Jackanory drivel.

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_Turing
      "Furthermore, Turing had reportedly borne his legal setbacks and hormone treatment (which had been discontinued a year previously) "with good humour" and had shown no sign of despondency before his death. He even set down a list of tasks that he intended to complete upon returning to his office after the holiday weekend."

      One final point on the Turing affair.
      I seem to recall his gay lover was a young man, less than half his age and still a teenager. When the law was altered many years later, the age of consent was set at 21 so arguably, Turing might have also faced further charges of engaging in sexual activity with a minor and possibly rape (if we judge by today's standards that, by definition, a minor cannot consent).
