My New York Times subscription had risen to £10 a month, which I decided is too much. So I went through the cancel process on the app. At the final stage, I was re-offered the introductory rate of £2.50 a month for a year to stay on! I declined, but you might want to opt in?

This seems just astonishing. The KJB is deep in the subconscious minds of many older Christians, but does anyone really believe that reputable modern translations are not more accurate renderings of the Hebrew and Greek? Or more understandable to young people?

Does your mind sometimes wander while listening to daily prayer, especially early or late? I've just discovered that consciously spotting the verb in every sentence is keeping me much more focused on meaning. Worth a try?

I try to keep my faith posts and law posts in silos. But surely everyone needs to know the legal position in relation to the ownership of fish on the beach?
The madness that is the English legal doctrine of Royal Fish. If a whale washes up on the shore, its body is owned by the King because, despite being a rotting carcass of a mammal in law it is a fish and a royal one and that. And who does the King task with sorting it out? The Receiver of Wreck...
"The King has no general property in fish... With respect however to whales and sturgeons, it was always a doctrine of the common law that they belong to the King"
