(no subject)

Bishop Alan has had a couple of interesting posts about clergy recruitment in the Church of England, and on the roles of priests, which I mean to go back and read properly later (after I've finished being terrified about this evening's presentation). However, what really caught my eye was a GK Chesterton poem the good bishop quotes, which I didn't know.

( Chesterton below the cut! )

I'm not at all sure about st 3, but st 4 - wow. It's also rather interesting to read it against Chesterton's (much better known) hymn, 'O God of Earth and Altar'.

Heigho. Must stop procrastinating and instead read through presentation, and see if I did manage to cut enough out of it last night (honestly, who ever came up with the format of a twenty minute paper followed by an hour of discussion wants their head examined - it's the discussion that's making me nervous...)
