THANKING THE HERESIARCH FOR HIS HOSPITALITY

Cranmer's Curate would like to thank the Heresiarch for hosting a satirical short story, The Community of the Dome, on the renowned Heresy Corner. Apart from his wit and erudition, the graciousness and fine moral sense of the firmly atheist Heresiarch humble a Christian like Cranmer's Curate who is all too inclined to be a 'hearer' of the Word of God rather than a 'doer' of it (James 1v22). The Heresiarch was in top form in a recent piece about the TV vicar Peter Owen Jones' admiration for pagan religion, which contains the unforgettable observation: "The precise nature of Owen Jones's Christian belief, by contrast, is never specified, but it seems to be closely connected with his desire to be on TV."
