Bishop of Reading... or not.

Jeffry John has announced he will be withdrawing his acceptance of the post of suffragan Bishop of Reading. He's the gay priest everyone's been making a fuss about. I find this incredibly sad, but at least he won't be subject to the sniping for years and years to come.
This Guardian article expresses very succintly the problem with bashing the Bible when opposing homosexuality - the Bible says far more about other societal rules which the Church no longer upholds (eg. the subordination of women).

My Oxford computer account has finally been deleted. Anyone who links to my oxford webpage (Ganesh, Art, RJK, Janet) is respectfully requested, when they have time (and if they think it's worth it), to link instead to http://www.photonhunter.co.uk/~lucy , which is the new location. It goes without saying that the email address has finally gone the way of all flesh too :)
