The resignation of the Dean of St Paul's today in the anti capitalist protest certainly puts the spotlight on the role of the church in the world.
It seems surprising that the Archbishop of Canterbury was not available on Channel Four News this evening.
Yesterday's Gospel surely forces anyone who comments on Gospel issues to ask where exactly the church stands in its affairs with those with whom it talks.
Watching the clip of Graeme Knowles 'address' the anti-capitalist protesters, one could not but feel that this man was accustomed to people listen to him and give him respect.
But right across society, people in postions of power always and ever believe that their wisdom is the one to prevail. And they have the power to 'implement' their 'wisdom'.
How can a powerful, wealthy church listen to people who are hurt?
