More than 100,000 Britons have recently downloaded "certificates of de-baptism" from the Internet to renounce their Christian faith.Some folk have been bemoaning this development. I don't know what the fuss is all about. It seems to me this is a good thing. Better than having thousands of people with baptismal certificates which are meaningless because they have never accepted the Christian faith.
a clergyman may be apparently as useless as a cat, but he is also as fascinating, for there must be some strange reason for his existence (GK Chesterton): one retired Anglican septuagenarian clergyman's THOUghts, discOverings, readings, scribbLes, wOndeRings and dooDles exploring that strange reason
