On a day like today, we really need an extra special Thought For The Day. That means wheeling out the real big hitter. No trainee vicars or nebulous eastern mystics will do on a day like this. Yes, it is I, live and in person, the one and only Supreme Leader of the Worldwide Anglican Communion, here to bring the kind of special insight that only I can deliver. I will bring you words of comfort and reassurance. I will show you the way ahead. Listen to what I have to say.
Jesus said, “Whatever.”

What’s the difference between His Grace The Most Reverend and Right Honourable Justin Welby, Lord Archbishop of Canterbury, Primate of all England and a trainee vicar? Not much it would seem.

Welby seemed to be making this up as he went along. If not from a prepared script, how could it pass the Beeb’s rigorous scrutiny?

As usual, Welby cannot think of a single useful thing to say about the most serious crisis Europe has faced for decades. He talks about “those involved in conflict finding their own way forward towards peace and reconciliation”, as if the Russians were interested in anything other than total subjugation of a free, democratic Ukraine. He tells us that “the only certainty is that God does not change” – which is more true than he thinks: the IMF is completely consistent in doing absolutely nothing about anything.
If Welby wants to be of any help, he should try calling his pal Patriarch Kirill, who will no doubt already have given his blessing to Putin’s warmongering, and ask him to have a word with his boss. That might at least teach him a lesson about the ineffectiveness of religion in the real world.
