About vicars

"Male vicars (as opposed to women vicars whose gender predisposes them to ‘listen to people’) are frequently waiting to fill the first moment of silence with their own intellectual offerings” said the father of a female vicar on Sunday Live. (roughly) It was a negative comment about the latter, but still, in the absence of debate all we can do here on this blog is fill space with offerings. We’re not even vicars.

Anyway that made me think of a vicar I admire, Canon Andrew White “The Vicar of Baghdad” and I wonder how he’s doing now.
