Seems that not all his colleagues are as supportive of the protestors.

Who'd have thought...

I think they're something to do with 20-20 cricket aren't they?..:D

I really hope Giles Fraser hangs up his cassock and then pitches a tent outside the cathedral.

Re: Anti-Wall Street Protests Spreading to Cities Large and Small
 

.... and occupy it overnight perhaps? ;)

Re: Anti-Wall Street Protests Spreading to Cities Large and Small
 

You know, I think most people have completely missed the significance of the unoccupied tents.

You always have your bloody-minded crusties at these sorts of things, but now the well-heeled middle classes are getting involved. They still buy their coffee at Starbucks and they go home for a shower and a warm bed. They're by no means expert at the protest lark. In fact they don't really have much of a clue at all about how to do it. But they are starting to think that they should do it, and that's significant.

Re: Anti-Wall Street Protests Spreading to Cities Large and Small
 

You could be right but it'll take a lot more than that to change anything.

Anyway, how long before some enterprising 'capitalist' amongst the protestors spots a golden opportunity and tries 'renting out' some of this prime c. London realty? :)

Sad about Dr Fraser who seems to be the true epitome of a Christian in this case..Or as I understand the word to mean:erm:.

It seems these protests are doing more harm to the Church than the City of
London.

Re: Anti-Wall Street Protests Spreading to Cities Large and Small
 

Which isn't their intention. They wanted to be in the square outside the Stock Exchange.

Re: Anti-Wall Street Protests Spreading to Cities Large and Small
 

Which is why I haven't claimed it was their intention. Their intention is irrelevant - their actions and refusal to move on voluntarily and peacefully from the Cathedral's grounds have, however, quite predictably caused chaos and a great deal of harm to an entirely innocent institution which has nothing whatsoever to do with their cause.

Re: Anti-Wall Street Protests Spreading to Cities Large and Small
 

I said they are picking on the wrong target. I hope they are happy with the trouble they are creating for the Church, I might not be a religious person myself but if i was i would be annoyed that these people are targeting that building and making people resign.

Then they should move, Let them go and picket Downing street instead of a church

Re: Anti-Wall Street Protests Spreading to Cities Large and Small
 

aren't the protesters unwittingly revealing problems in the church that where already there ,not causing them ?
