Saw the interview on Newsnight last night with Jeremy Paxman, Rosie Harper and the Migrating Bishop of Fulham. I presume that when Flying Bishops leave they migrate?
Let's cut through the theological trivia, as if that's ever going to interest a Newsnight viewer. Revd Rosie seemed intelligent, bright and attractive, while I'm afraid that Mr Broadhurst, as I presume he will now be known for a short while, came across as a bit of a bar-room grump. It struck me that if this is the new Diocese of Oxford strategy for evangelism, it may be onto a winner.
They would be migrating only if we expected they'd migrate back again in a season or two, surely?

Er, she is, he is, they are. Much healthier to stop pretending about this stuff and get real. Discrimination is discrimination, bear crap is bear crap, the Pope is a Catholic, but nothing like as catholic as he would be if he began to listen to the emerging voices in his own denomination who can see the obsolescence of eleventh century sexism as an absolute governing principle... Hardly an evangelistic strategy, but you don't have to be Sherlock Holmes to work it out.
