Julie Burchill has got religion. Had my usual reaction to JB's writing, i.e. it inspires occasional moments of thinking 'that's a decent point', but mostly eye-rolling. Though the question (apart from why someone who is much more enthusiastic about the OT than the NT isn't Jewish) which presented itself most forcibly is how she reconciles her Protestant chauvinism with her admiration for Fr Gavin Ashenden, who sounds... fairly high up the candle.

Have started packing; need to find out if the rumour that you can abmeld online is true.

(My mind is all over the place at the moment, yes; why do you ask?)

Julie Burchill has been an inexhaustible and inexpressible source of mirth to anyone in this country with a sense of humour, for a good twenty-five years now. I feel sorry for the poor Anglicans.

She sounds entirely mad. But yes, I can see where you'd be thankful to be well clear of the dubious benefit of her conversion...

Well, except when she's making you feel embarrassed that she claims to be on your side!

... as if we didn't have enough problems as it is.

As I said... I feel sorry for you lot. And it takes a lot to make me call you "the poor Anglicans".
