Christopher Brain, 68, is currently accused of assaulting 13 women while leader of the Nine O’Clock Service (NOS), part of the Church of England, in Sheffield.
Brain, who was considered charismatic, wore the robes used by Robert De Niro in the film The Mission at his ordination service, which was fast-tracked after he impressed George Carey, who went on to become Archbishop of Canterbury. |
De Niro played the part of a repentant sinner who was formerly a slave trader and has killed his brother. By admitting his sins and through his acts of penance, climbing a mountain carrying heavy armour, Mendoza (De Niro) is enabled to gain forgiveness.......
Brain has instead chosen to plead not guilty.
The trial continues.

Perhaps it is time the whole 'Charismatic Movement' be re-inspected in case it wasn't just another bout of Christian renewal. These are needed periodically because, with the best will in the world, church services tend to be on the dull side. 'Let us doze...'
If I was a paedophile I would head for the quietist priesthood. If my bent was serial philanderising with grown women I would head for the Charismatic branch of the priesthood. If I liked beating people the C of E has camps for that too. If I preferred being beaten I would stick with Ms Whiplash who is non-denominational.

You read the paper Ethics and Moral in Beowulf. The Paroemiological Approach. We found a related paper on Academia: The Good, the Bad, and the Violent: Analyzing Beowulf’s Heroic Displacement and Transgressive Violence during the Grendel Quest Academia.edu |
I must remember to work paroemiological into my conversations more often. It gives one an air of commitment, I always think.
