DP, with your permission I'd like to share your excellent post on my Facebook wall. I don't have millions of friends and followers but I feel it deserves a somewhat broader audience; plus there are one or two churchy types, including my old schoolfriend-turned-Lichfield Cathedral spindoctor, who really ought to have something more solid to chew on than just their usual pie in the sky. Of course, I'll await your reply before doing anything.
