He’s only seen a small clip!? Perhaps he’d like to see the whole film, and revise his opinion. (And use it as a visual aid in his sermons)

Dear Stuart, bless him, seems to be a traditionalist. The Anglican Communion is a broad church, it is inclusive, everyone is welcome, even traditionalists despite them often acting in exclusive ways. If Stuart wants Christians to not see The Life Of Brian then that is a perfectly legitimate stance and he must set about persuading them to not see it – that is Anglicanism. To ask for it to stay banned in Aberystwyth is neither persuasion nor inclusion but a wish for a generally imposed exclusion. Stuart does lead a large flock, nevertheless, he might benefit from reading Rowan Williams’s “Tokens of Trust”, especially the Chapter entitled “God In Company”, especially the bits about not herding people together and understanding the dynamic equlibrium of people in groups.

‘If it was an unpleasant book 2,000 years ago, then it remains an unpleasant book 2,000 years later. My child has not seen the book, nor have I any wish for him/her to do so. ‘
Just a thought – if parents tried that argument against compulsory RE how far would it get?

It’s not a phone mast. It’s a very naughty tree.

It would seem the Rev isn’t adverse to earning Â£5000/year to have a phone mast in his church which has been turned down due to protests from ‘antimast’ people.

He won’t have read all of the Bible either but he seems to believe everything in it if he works for the bloke who wrote it.

He should be laughed off the scene. Pathetic, if he hasn’t seen it he shouldn’t comment on it.

As anyone who has seen it will tell you it is not blasphemous. Jesus is in the first scene, it is a satire about how prophets are created and become leaders of cults even if they don’t want to…oh, I see why ‘they’ don’t want it shown…it might give some of the sheeples a flash of reality…

Doesn’t this man realise that his comments show his sheep-like tendancies ? If he’s not seen the film, how can he possibly KNOW it’s unpleasant ? He doesn’t, he just believes it because someone else told him so…which is probably why he became a Chritian in the first place !!

What a Lemming…if only he’d jump off a cliff (and I know lemmings don’t actually do that, but in the case of this particular lemming, we can only hope !)
