The thing that I found equally unpleasant was the rather back-handed insinuation about Justin Welby being of the cheesus persuasion too.

As f...This is brilliant on Good Friday, thank you.<br /><br />As for Giles F - I was reminded of the farewell piece he wrote in the Church Times a few weeks ago, 'Goodbye - I am letting anger drop' where he says <br /><br />"The Occupy thing obviously continues to haunt me; and I will probably remain bruised about all of that to my dying day. Watching the new man being made Archbishop at St Paul's brought much of it back - and I had been preparing this week to write something that expressed some of that emotion. It was then that I realised clearly that it was time for me to go.<br /><br />Sometimes you have to let the anger drop, if only for your own sanity. It's time for fresh fields and pastures new"<br /><br />Perhaps he's still working out the anger he feels. I found his piece simplistic and unpleasantly disdainful of other Christians, but I can identify all too well with the pain of losing a ministry. Maybe his disdain for the 'success' of HTB - which he seems to feel is merely a matter of good PR - is understandable into the context of the Occupy saga when he may feel he very publicly failed - and was failed by others - in all sorts of ways. <br /><br />http://www.churchtimes.co.uk/articles/2013/8-february/comment/columnists/goodbye-i-am-letting-anger-drop<br /><br />Pam Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03952001402591649389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4795284845836270713.post-31701953137743386052013-03-23T19:42:49.271+00:002013-03-23T19:42:49.271+00:00Not worthy of GF who can quite often write some re...Not worthy of GF who can quite often write some real sense. Christus Victor is one of the oldest understandings of the atonement, dating back to the Church Fathers and long predating Evangelicalism.
