NOT, APPARENTLY, ARIAN

Royal priest in row over anti-semitic jibe about Howard (Jonathan Petre, Telegraph, 05/06/05)

One of the Prince of Wales's favourite clerics was at the centre of a storm last night after an anti-semitic remark in a Cotswold pub.

The Rev Christopher Mulholland, the rector of Little Badminton, Gloucestershire, outraged Jewish sensibilities by saying of Michael Howard, the Tory leader, that he "couldn't trust a man who has not tasted pork".

So, does he trust politicians or not?

The Rev. Mulholland woould be enraptured by Robert C. Byrd if he ever met him.

...he "couldn't trust a man who has not tasted pork"

Ummm, Reverend Sir, wouldn't that include Jesus?

And thus, Reverend Mulholland is not, apparently, Arian, although with the CofE, who knows?

Nice to the Reverend doing his part to bring Jews and Muslims together in the UK.

What makes you think the current C of E has anything to do with Jesus, let alone trust in him?
