If it wasn’t so sad…
Ian Carmichael / 12th September 2006
This story in the Times about an Anglican minister converting to Hinduism and moving to India, and yet having his Anglican license renewed by his UK Bishop, is a worry.
Sure, I feel desperately sad for a clergyman who is so confused about the Christian gospel that he cannot see any problem with him making offerings to a snake god. But what worries me even more is the notion that someone who is supposed to be his “pastor” (i.e. his bishop) was so unaware of where one of his clergy was at, both spiritually (and for that matter geographically), that it could get to this ridiculous stage.
