Biblical interpretation and "The Cat Sat on the Mat"

[chrishansenhome]

For many years now, there's been a satire around on the Church of England and how it would treat "The Cat Sat on the Mat" if it appeared in the Bible. The satire appeared again in a venue which I follow, but I thought it needed some updating to take into account current Anglican thinking on Biblical scholarship and the burning questions that are exercising the Church these days. So I wrote four more paragraphs on the subject. I posted it here and would be delighted if you'd all go read it (unless Anglicanism bores you, in which case go in peace to love and serve the Lord).

I admit most of it, being unfamiliar with the particulars of Anglicanism, was beyond my understanding. This, however, I found particularly amusing: "If he were allergic, what would that mean to the doctrine of the dual nature of Christ, especially in regards to the possibility of God being allergic to part of His creation?"
