Father Simon Ellis of St Laurence's, Long Eaton, has let it be known he will be joining the Catholic faith. Several clerics have left the Church of England over various issues such as the Ordination of women and the Ordination of openly gay priests. Exactly why Father Ellis is moving on is not clear. However I wish him well and hope he succeeds in his future endeavours.
Thinking about religion I am reminded of a friend of mine who when in hospital for a serious operation, was asked what her religion was, she said "none." The nurse said "I'll put you down as Church of England dear." Hmmmm....
