Drilling for souls


I read with interest today that the new Archbishop of Canterbury is to be ex-oilman Justin Welby; I'm wondering if this means the Anglican Church will now be introducing loyalty cards and selling charcoal and flowers from naves up and down the country? Seriously though, I wish him luck and hope that his "real-world" experience will help him to speak more rationally than his predecessor on topics of privilege and secularism from his albeit privileged position in our country.

I believe he's found shale oil below Lambeth Palace.

CB, I heard he suspected natural gas reserves but it turned out to be a vast reservoir of hot air...
