Pam and I have been utterly appalled to see the way in which Helen-Ann Hartley has been devilified in the Church Press, which should surely have policies that prevent such polarised views being expressed, and from others. At time like this it is easy to feel impotent to give any meaningful support - then we realised that commenting on such situations is bound into the history of the Limerick. Here’s our support in five lines.
When a bishop decides to be brave,
and speak out: there’s a chance she might save,
the church from extinction.
Then might demons spread fiction
ambition has got in the way?
Maybe Screwtape has once again been casting his long shadow - thank you C. S. Lewis.
