Sunday just gone I was at Peterborough Cathedral. A friend from when I had been in Northamptonshire was being ordained deacon along with 15 others. Those being priested had been done the day before, and just as well because it was crowded as it was. Strange that stories of full cathedrals don't get into the media! Every reason to rejoice at all these good people taking this step in ministry
The Friday before I'd been given tickets to the Royal Show. It was a shame but understandable that livestock numbers were down because of bluetongue. To our surprise in among the crowd and with surprisingly little security was Prince Charles.If the newly ordained are the good, & Charles is reckoned to be among the great, who is the spineless? Well it's got to be Hilary Benn and his pathetic announcement that he is doing nothing effective to prevent the needless slaughter of 40,000 cattle and all the stress that brings to farmers.
