But I am ashamed of both sides taking general swipes at either of the opposing sides without looking at the particulars. We need more dialogue, more conversation and more understand between the two, so I guess I'd better get talking :)Stephen Glennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03027718551675624433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22974616.post-14383826867478529082010-12-04T23:10:16.437+00:002010-12-04T23:10:16.437+00:00Actually I think he lives in Newbury now Mary.

The vast majority of Christians (at least the ones I know) are honest, decent, intelligent folks like yourself, and if ANYONE should be saying they're not ashamed then it's you.<br /><br />It's a real (pardon the pun) shame that it's YOU who feels you have to withdraw and not these people with NO shame who are hijacking your church.Millennium Domehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08430269096817934037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22974616.post-67806234032559051712010-12-01T23:15:07.299+00:002010-12-01T23:15:07.299+00:00After reading comments from Ekklesia, Bishop of Cr...After reading comments from Ekklesia, Bishop of Croydon and others, I have withdrawn my name as a signatory of this declaration.
