Hope Cove Weekend

The Hope Cove Weekend starts on Saturday just as the August Bank Holiday swings in. I'm told this is the busiest weekend of the year. The church is holding a very informal half-hour service at 11am on Sunday down by the Hope and Anchor. Why not come and join us.

Dawkins on Channel 4!

Does Channel Four have a love affair with Richard Dawkins? This time they have given him a three part mini series on Charles Darwin to which he can have his rants on religious faith. I caught ten minutes of this week and couldn't believe my eyes as he had a go at some science teachers for not trying to "reason" children out of religious faith. In terms of impartiality I cant see them giving the same time for the Archbishop of Canterbury, let alone the same editorial power. If they did it would probably have some added scandal or warped twist to it.

I'm not a creationist and I could easily sit and watch a TV programme about Darwin with some interest. I do think Richard Dawkins is a narrow minded self-publicist who has little idea about religion.
