| | | Quote of the Week - Rt Rev Gordon Mursell 
In a pastoral letter to the Diocese of Lichfield the Bishop of Stafford, the Rt Rev Gordon Mursell, praises J.K. Rowling. Quote:
“One of the biggest challenges humanity faces (and has always faced) is how to make ‘being good’ attractive.
“First, we should give thanks for those few writers and artists who have managed to do just that. CS Lewis, JK Rowling, Philip Pullman - all these have created characters who manage to be both genuinely good and genuinely attractive."

that is a good idea to give thanks to those authors out there because they help broaden our minds with their characters and story lines

Attractive in it's basic definition of someone who attracts people.
Making good people like Harry cool in the modern world we live in vs bad people.
Nice guys finish last, bad boy gets the girl, evil is cool. Sounds like he's against that type of thing.

Philip Pullman! Definitely. Bit surprising to have a religious figure recognize him, to be honest.

Yeah,little surprised that Philip Pullman was listed there....
Anyhooo I completely agree with him.It's nice when the good guy wins out,sends a positive message.
Not sure he couldn't have phrased the last sentence a bit different though,so people didn't confuse his meaning! |
