The Church and the Media
Andrew Collier considers media handling at the Lambeth Conference and concludes: "It’s not much better here in Scotland.

This is where the church hierarchies get it so, so wrong. They treat us as the enemy when in fact we have the potential to be their best friends.
Jesus told us to spread the Good News and, in this broken and cynical world, it would be nice to do a bit of that. But when fellow Christians deliberately make it as difficult as you can, you do wonder sometimes if it’s worth the effort.
