'Recycled' is a good word for old things being brought out to USE. This repetition means that the words are worthy of being brought to light, and - LOOK ! - SEE - stimulates thought, discussion - and maybe - honest communication. Even the tiniest amount of movement adds momentum...... God, after all, created 'mankind' in God's own image - created us ALL, in all our (sometimes bemoaned) uniqueness and glory, ALL EQUAL and LOVED.......... so how - HOW - on earth does anyone have the gall, the nastiness, and the sheer audacity to continue to try and thwart Love and Justice for ANYBODY else, orientation/colour/creed/other ? Tell me, Kelvin - how does a pleb like me contact the College of Bishops directly ? A wee 'Nudge to Budge' might help bring this further into the Light. A few wee nudges might be even better...especially if loads and LOADS of people bother to do so..... Even the Army seem to have made great forward strides over this issue over the last few years, according to a BBC R4 programme this week. Trust the Church to turn away from the Light..........

Even the tiniest amount of movement adds momentum……
