Well, I’m not, but Bishop Anna Greenwood-Lee is because there are no white people in the Bible and because white people exchanging gifts is yet another example of white supremacy. I presume the centurion in Matthew 8 was white, not to mention Herod and other assorted gentiles in Galatia and Ephesus. Perhaps they don’t count. Or perhaps the bishop hasn’t actually read the Bible.

So, if your skin has a whitish tinge to it, add another knot to your knout and indulge in a little Advent self-flagellation.

If COVID hasn’t made you feel depressed this Christmas, watch this video to complete the job.

It just occurred to me: there are no Welsh people in the Bible either. I’m off to add yet another knot to my scourge.

Advent is the apocalypse, the apocalypse is climate change, it’s not the end but the unveiling. Pride is the problem (true), the Creation is the underlying power (Pantheism), the answer is interconnectedness.

No God, no Jesus, no sense. Other than that, I quite enjoyed it.
