It is significant that a person of the standing of Sir William Deane has publically criticized the man of steel’s government.

I was going to post on my utter increduality of the latest statements by the Bush Administration saying that Saddam destroyed the WMD’s before the war. But, Tim Dunlop says it much better than I could.

A couple of nights ago we had the author caroline miley to speak at one of our congregations, which was held jointly with the livingroom people.
One of the interesting topics which came up highlighted a difference between the Anglican tradition and our own - that of the use of creeds as statements of belief. […]

I am pulling together a couple of disparate strands of thought here, so bear with me. I was reading Future Margins’ post on why people blog - is it ego, antidepersonalisation, sharing or wannabe writers?
