The trouble with Valentine's day is that it can often leave a sense of, well let's say, disappointment. Especially if the lady has given, well lets say, her all.
In the hallowed walls of the University of Durham, the Secretary of the Methodist Church Faith and Order Committee, knows what it is like to be let down after a 72 hour romance. This sad story is not for the faint hearted.
It seems that David Gamble has been left at the altar: the Anglicans are more interested in the new librarian at Lambeth Palace.
Meanwhile Karen Burke (haven't I come across that name somewhere before ?) seems to be softening the line from Church House in an item on The Guardian comment is free website. Good try Karen.
It didn't take long did it? David Gamble's attempted coup is over: the Anglicans don't really want us, the Methodist Church itself is half hearted, and even Church House is rowing backwards. If the Methodist Church were a banana republic there'd be a firing squad at 6.00 am tomorrow morning.
Lets get back to building the Methodist Church as a distinctive expression of the Christian witness that this country so desperately needs.
