Lord Patten, Chairman of the BBC Trust, said this evening that people in positions of authority tend to live in silos.
He was talking about the Jimmy Savile case. He also said it was the worst situation he has ever had to deal with and by a mile.
It's so easy for people to live in 'silos'. But isn't that a major issue with the institutional church?
And the current trend to head back to the past in some silly nostalgic way is surely a real sign of 'silo living'.
I recently saw a Sunday parish letter published in a parish where anything up to 70 per cent are unemployed. And the Sunday letter was so far removed from the lives of the people living in that parish.
It is a shocking story. And no one seems to notice, no one is saying anything. Does anyone care?
