Misunderstandings

Misunderstandings

As often happens, a convergence around a common theme has occurred on blogs I read and on Facebook.

First, there was this headline, which I initially misunderstood, science fiction fan that I am:

โ€œDoctor Who Recommended Jesus to Patient to Fight Disciplinary Proceedings with Backing of Christian Legal Centreโ€œ

Even having blogged about religion and Doctor Who, this still wasnโ€™t a direction I expected the show to take. Did you understand it correctly the first time you read it?

Along similar lines, Peter Kirk explained that the headline โ€œKirk to Consider Gay Ordinationsโ€ had nothing to do either with his future in ministry or his sexual orientation.

And finally, A. K. M. Adam told me (on Facebook), โ€œJames, your status line in my FB news updates reads, โ€˜James McGrath recommends Obama Addresses Jewish Group, Just Days After Mideast Speech and Religion and Sex Quizโ€™ โ€” which raises questions about how the Chief Executive is spending his time.โ€
