Has St. Paul’s lost the plot?
I thought Simon Jenkins blog post on St Paul’s loses the plot was fantastic. One of the best Christians views on the mess that St. Paul’s has got itself into: St Paul’s has lost the plot. Their PR, which for Byzantine reasons is run from the obscure town of Brough in East Yorkshire by Rob Marshall’s 33rpm, was taken [...]
