The diocesan conference is about to take place. Three hundred people all trying to eat breakfast and ask each other which parish they are from? Lots of people in coffee queues saying what they really think about the state of things? Loads of clergy all in one place? I think not. I’m off in the opposite direction, thanks very much.
