An old friend said the other night, "LSP, I respect your education, I really do, but you have no appreciation of Black Heritage." Good heavens! Serious deficiency, and reply, "Darling, what do you mean? I love George Washington, and let's not forget Jefferson Davis."
You can imagine the pause, "They weren't black!" And the response, "What do you mean?" Pause for a moment of stunned silence as you behold the icon of the free world, Vladimir Zelensky.
You're probably tired of Furries, the awesome Eva Peron who is not like Stormy Daniels btw, Cossacks, random cooking tips and great art, so let's shift gear. That's right, move it on up to higher things, like the way Church of England cathedrals are going full clown big top.
No kidding, Rochester cathedral's installed a 9 hole crazy golf course in the nave and Norwich cathedral's put a giant Helter-Skelter fairground ride in its "worship space." Why? Mission, of course.
Crazy Golf often involves bridges, you have to putt your ball across all these little bridges, you see, and Rochester cathedral's canon figure Rachel Phillips gets to the heart of it:
So while people are here, having fun and playing crazy golf, they will take the opportunity to reflect on that wider theme of building bridges that they might find that they would like to pray, light a candle. Maybe talk to somebody.
Quite. About what?
Some think this latest foray into, ahem, mission, crosses the line into blasphemy.I'd agree and suggest that yet again we're confronted by people pretending to be something they don't believe in anyway.
By the way, I have it on good authority that downtown Norwich on a Saturday's like "Hell with the lid off."
