A student pal at uni. had brought in his copy of the Church Times - with front cover a full page shot of the ubiquitous Cheryl Cole. This, apparently not an attempt to boost flagging circulation, but rather to flag up an article about our modern cult of celebrity - or [pop] idol worship.
The article was a snappy one by Pete Ward and had a rather neat hookline that ran along the lines of:
"Cheryl Cole may be omnipresent but she is not the ground of anyone's being."
Marvellous - pop idol meets Paul Tillich - happy days! :)

Something on the Church Times site ammused me. There was a meeting of primates in Ireland. Image that floated to the top of my head was of a chimps tea party.* I need to think purer thoughts if I'm to be a ministerial spouse.
*with no offence meant to either type of primate!
hehehe, yup, I'm not sure who it's most unfortunate for - the bishops or the monkeys!! :)
LOL !
then there was the preacher who'd been reading lots of Tillich and Billy Graham one week.
At the end of his Sunday sermon he said:
"May the Ground of All Being richly bless each and every one of you."
"Your comment will be visible after approval."
thought-police have invaded this website !
It's been comment-moderated for yonks, plus I was watching a mindless movie...
