Thank you! Thank you! No - really, thank you. I'm touched. No, really. I'd just like to say "thank you" to all of you who have appointed me to this position, and I hope to bring my enormously large store of humility to this difficult task.

If anyone has any queries on what the Church should be doing, just drop me a line. I will be issuing guidance on all manner of things every so often, but any individual quesitons you have - yes, even from you Rowan [Big Grin] - I will gladly deal with.

I love you all.

Your Grace.

Could you make a point of telling people from other religious traditions that, rather than being part of the Body of Christ with a distinctive Christian witness to offer the Church, they and their beliefs are in fact the result of a category error.

I feel that this will help no end.

Dear Fr Dyfrig,

My 403(b) is fast approaching worthless, as it's now worth less than half of what I've invested in it so far. When I jump to my death from the top of the Independent Life building, should I wear bright colors or neutrals in preparation for the tasteful ECUSA funeral?

Gladly, Professor.

[clears throat]

I say - you lot. Yes, you, you people from other religious traditions. Rather than being part of the Body of Christ with a distinctive Christian witness to offer the Church, you and your beliefs are in fact the result of a category error.

Did that help?

Dearest Erin,

This is a tricky one. My primary worry is that it'll all eventually be a rather splattery red whatever it started out as. Might I suggest something plain, not too ostentatious, so that you can get the full, deep effect of the crimson? Either that or something in greenspan.

Dear Sir
I most humbly ask for clarification on the point of other religous traditions. Are we speaking of other religous traditions within the broad spectrum of Christian belief or are we speaking of other demon worshiping faiths, or both.

Sorry to waste your time with such a triffling question sir.

Many thanks
Simon

ps.If I may make a suggestion to Erin, when you jump rap your body in cling film, then the clothes you wear will come out unstained and you will buried just as you landed. Alternatively in the spirit of true christian charity you could save the police time by zipping yourself into a body bag before you jump.

Thank you muchly for your advice, both of you, I shall take it under advisement.

Silly boy, other religious traditions within the broad spectrum of Christian belief are in fact other demon worshiping faiths.

Mr 2,

You are in error.....we speak of faith....we do not believe in denominations.....(first contact? Who knows [Big Grin] )..........

Sorry, where was I?

Oh yes. All non-Christians are going to Hell, obviously, except the ones that make us feel uncomfortable about our failings as Christians, who we will grudgingly let in.

And as for the usurper Etheredge, who now appears to think that this is HER thread for dishing out advice, may I point out that whilst we are all Shipmates, baptised as we are into the same Simon, only some are Hosts, only some are Admins, and only some are Guardians of the Moral and Theological Fabric of the Space-Time Continuum, so take that look off your face, I can see through your smile, (dum-dum-dum-dum-dum) I bet you didn't sleep good last nig-- anyway, you get my point.

Attention, everybody! Please look at the above question. The fact that such a stupid and ignorant thing needs to be asked in the first place is Proof Positive of the Failure of the Comprehensive Education System and other such ideas.

Clare,

How many times do we need to go through these things? Look, at the bottom line this is how you adjudge whether a church has lost contact with Tradition.

Does the church ape the styles of the host culture? If yes, then the Church is doomed UNLESS it happens to ape the host Roman culture circa AD450, in which case it is the pure presentation of the Gospel as handed down by Jesus himself to the Apostles.

Your Dyfrigness,
Can you help with interpreting this dream I have?

I am sailing across miles of ocean, on a quest to find Princess Leia, and, in a terrible storm, the vessel is shipwrecked. I somehow get ashore, and find myself in a strange, hot land, where the people say that they have chosen a shrub to be in charge. Also, they must fight lots of people, including a sad man (I think that is what they say – their tongue is strange to my ears). I ask them why they chose rule by a shrub, and they set this fierce crocodilian reptile on me, which proceeds to bite my head off. They place me in a dark sarcophagus, from which there is no escape. But then a long-haired woman, wielding a lightsaber, stands before me and restores my life, whilst music of a church-organ plays. What does this mean?

An anaesthatist, a surgeon, an engineer and a lawyer were gathered to gether in one place to answer the question "What is God like?"

And the anaesthatist said, "God is like an anaesthatist, for with gentleness and just the right amount of gas he put Adam to sleep in order to take Eve from his side."

"No!" cried the surgeon "God is like a surgeon, who with delicate hands opened up Adam's side and brought out the rib, and left no scarring."

Then the Engineering intervened, "Oh fools! God is much more like an Engineer, looking at the chaos and seeing in their patterns and workings and thus bringing forth Order!"

"Indeed," said the lawyer. "And who do you think created the chaos?"

Well, there's no need to boast about, young man. Always bear in mind that some people aren't so fortunate and let this be a lesson in humility to you.

duchess - Calvin was a lawyer, was he not? Read, mark and inwardly digest.

And the rest of you - did they recognise the Son of God in the Man of Sorrows? No! Did they notice Christ coming back as someone called Matilda in South London in 1977? Of course they didn't! Take heed.

A most interesting question (take note, everybody else).

There is a slight practical problem. The minds of the leaders to whom you refer already appear to be oocupied by 12-foot lizards and the Bildeberg Group (apart from Dweezil Bush, whose mind can only contain a small pretzel, and Tea-Towel Head in Ramallah, whose marbles have been away from home longer than the ones nicked by Lord Elgin).

I was speaking to my colleague, The Controller of World Affairs (Mr Arthur Ploxstead of 23 Snetterton Way, Smegma, Gloucestershire) the other day and he says the only way things are going to change is through the mass introduction of the Tetley's "pyramidical" teabag. But Arthur always was slightly odd, to say the least. He will never get the time machine to work - firstly his shed isn't big enough and anyway the Council will never let him install a plutonium reactor in conservation area.

Er, .... sorry, I don't think I should have told you that.

Anyway, my advice is clear - bathe every day and tie a yellow ribbon round the old oak tree. If in doubt, press # on your telephone keypad and help will be provided as soon as one of our operatives stops playing "Air on a G String" on the Bontempi organ.
