Bish bash bosh

Well it is the story of our lives out here in Auntie Overseas, as the local firebrand of the old left wing at university continues his unrelenting but under-the-table campaign against the Roman priests on the QT, what, with his policy of bish-bash-bosh, or rather her policy, as it is usually the feminine component of the episcopal equation that does all this negativity at the palace of the bishop. Shame really but maybe our bishops in the old church of england have spent too much time serving Moscow, or the old style kind of Novo-Sibirsk, or too much time being skivvies and cinderellas to the little women at the palace like the Mrs Proudys of the world, and too little time saying their devout prayers to the God that can always save the Church of England if it just keeps looking up. And things are looking up. At least for the Real Church of England, the Nice Church of England, the Not-so-red Church of England, as I recently popped into a lovely evangelical style CoE church atop a hill on the site of an old monastery and it was full to the rafters of lots of lovely kids and their parents. Nice job - thank the Lord for a bit of gospel greedy bible bashing - lovely exegesis.
