"Blind to Religion & Difference" by Paul Vallely
This is an edited (by Richard Cussons) extract of an article that originally appeared in The Church Times on 4th June 2010.
On his first day in office as Foreign Secretary, William Hague missed one of his top priorities off his “to do” list. All the usual suspects were there; Afghanistan, Iran, Relations with Europe and America, and emerging superpowers China & India. But the top priority must be the re-establishment of diplomacy, especially after a foreign-office team blundered by publishing a brainstorming document on the Pope’s visit in September, which suggested, among other crass things, that the Pope should open an abortion ward and bless a gay wedding. How could Britain’s diplomats be so undiplomatic?
Pastoral Notes (Sept) by Alison Maynard
