Holy Increase Mather! The Church of England is finally cracking down on the black arts .
Where is the justice? I don’t see why someone who wants to use his witchcraft for goodliness should be singled out this kind of ill treatment, when there are many in the Anglican Communion who employ their powers in the service of naughtiness. Would the Church of England turn away Obi-Wan Kenobi? I thought the Communion believed in a comprehensiveness that bordered on rank profligacy. I am outraged. How is a little eye of neut and tongue of dog “incompatible with his Anglican orders,” especially when consumed with a nice sherry?
I think it is time for the Archbishop of Canterbury to draw some strict foul lines, theologically speaking, or the next thing you know you won’t be able to be a Unitarian and an Anglican either.
