Tina Beattie, Professor of being Catholic

And in the Big News today from a Faith Perspective, the Prime Minister. Anyway, humans have opposing impulses of selfishness and altruism. Christianity recognises this, therefore it is true.

Sometimes, altruism even wins.

Rev Dr Rob Marshall, Priest at St John the Evangelist, Welwyn Garden City

We Christians look after everyone because our Invisible Magic Friend told us to. Yes, Yes, other religions do it too, but not as bigly as we do. We’ve got the story of the Good Samaritan.

Rev Lucy Winkett, Rector of St James Piccadilly, handy for Fortnum and Mason

Happy VE Day everybody! The Big Book of Magic Stuff says that peace is a Good Thing, therefore it is (unless invading the Promised Land of course).

Vishvapani (formerly Simon Blomfield), member of the Triratna Order (formerly the Western Buddhist Order)

Amazingly Reverend Doctor David Walker, Bishop of Manchester

And in the Big News today from a Faith Perspective, many a true word is spoken in jest. A bit of “Religious Wisdom” there for you.

When all this is over and you get to meet the Invisible Magic Friend, he’ll be having a jolly good laugh at it all. He really is an immense practical joker.
