And in the Big News today from a Faith Perspective, the Shakers. They had great art, furniture and inventions. They renounced sex and so have died out. The end.

And in the Big News today from a Faith Perspective, me. What was it like being 007, like I was? It’s the question I’m always asked when I tell people, as I often do, that I used to do something much more interesting. I’ve mentioned it before on this programme but no one ever seems to pick up on it. Well this time I’m making it the main point, so you’ll have no choice.

Being a spy is the same as being a bishop. What is the meaning of life? Where does morality come from? They come from the Invisible Magic Friend. I learned this in theology. Isn’t theology great.

But we must always be open to other points of view, just like Thought for the Day is.

It’s the anniversary of the 7th October attacks. Jews and Palestinians have suffered horrors then and since. I pray to the same Invisible Magic Friend that Palestinians do. He’s always sorted everything out in the past. Which gives us all hope, doesn’t it?

The graveyards are full. What are we going to do with all the dead bodies?

I’ve searched the Big Book of Magic Stuff and it doesn’t say what to do. Would you believe it, not a single instruction on where to put all the dead people. So I’ll go on quoting the Book of Common Prayer and Cardinal Newman as if they were somehow relevant.
