I try to avoid writing about current events. Such comments date very quickly, and I suspect that readers of this blog come looking for spiritual comfort or distraction rather than analysis of the contemporary world scene. With my viewpoint they may not always agree, but occasionally, it behoves me to offer comment.
The Church of St Margaret and All Hallows at Orford near Warrington struck me as entirely ordinary and predictable. A late-Victorian building in leafy grounds, it is built of brick in a 'blended gothic'. It has a decent online presence and the array a services which one might expect of an active, Anglican church. Nothing at all struck me as extraordinary. The website reports:
