As for the knobs comment, I made it because of WHERE they have decided to protest. They are not doing themselves any favours by making trouble for the church. |
Aside from the fact that you are basing a lot on assumptions my earlier post re: JSA conditions refers. People can claim JSA anywhere in the UK, there is no requirement for them to remain local / static should they do so. Indeed several coalition ministers have mooted their mobility as a good thing.
In short they are making relatively little "trouble" for the church beyond having a financial impact.
On that matter I seem to remember some bloke called Jesus having been quoted in Matthew 18:20 as saying "where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them".
Effectively even he seemed to suggest that a church (or cathedral for that matter) wasn't a prerequisite for worship.
One could reasonably argue that the cathedrals (and indeed your) concerns in relation to access to worship on their premises are ill founded.
