I am thinking that anyone who gets to be archbishop, primate etc has had plenty of experience with complex political issues.

On the other hand many of our polititians have had little experience at examining their behaviour from a moral or ethical perspective. (or if they have they’ve done an aweful job of it.)

Perhaps Alexander should just go back inside his glass house.

ahhh, but all polititians are religious aren’t they, where as most church leaders spend most of there time trying to ignore politicts (well at least politicts for the sack of politicts)

from scott adams (dilbert):

I’ve also learned recently that “ironic” means anything you want it to mean. Example:

Me: “I heard that Bob was killed by a meteor.”

Induhvidual: “Wow. That’s ironic.”

Me: “Why is it ironic? Was he an astronomer?”

Induhvidual: “No, it’s ironic because, you know, what are the
odds?”

Me: “So anything unlikely is automatically ironic?”

Induhvidual: “No, it also needs to be bad.”

Me: “This conversation is ironic.”

Induhvidual: “Shut up! You’re making me pee like a banshee!”
