This is an ‘html-only’ version of Scribblings with no database behind it. This means it is not possible to search it. I am working on a new version with which I am hoping to eventually put back into the main site. The new version is here but please note that there is no link directly back to the main site.

‘Much loved’ church empty. Pardon?

Christopher Booker in the Torygraph bemoans the lack of an Easter service in his ‘much loved’ local church. This is, he says, because the Easter services at three local parishes have been combined into one due to a shortage of churchgoers. It rather strikes me that he’s not thought this through — either the church is ‘much loved’ and is full of worshippers or it’s empty because not enough people want to go there: in which case it can’t be that much loved.

I suppose next he’ll be blaming it all on ‘aggressive secularists’ or some other fictional group of people who he will accuse of undermining the authority of the church and persecuting Christians. Sigh.

An apology

Since moving the site to a new server Scribblings is not as easy to find your way around as it used to be. It used to depend on a script and a database on the server but is currently served as ‘flat html’.

I have some ideas about how to make it a bit easier but they depend on writing another script. I hope to get around to it ‘eventually’.
