Anne Atkins on Newsnight: "if the protesters had encamped outside St. Helen's, Bishopsgate, instead of St. Paul's, they'd have been evangelized within five minutes". How true! Would they still be in place, one wonders?
I genuinely don't know what to make of the protests. It seems that the poor erstwhile Dean and Chapter are confused also. It has been amusing to see politicians of every stripe trying to put their oar in, and entirely failing to understand what the issues are. The letters to the Daily Telegraph never fail to amuse - and miss the point, it seems.
Followers of Christ are called to seek justice for the poor - but whether that is the same thing as finding common cause with those camping in front of St Paul's is, well, unclear.

I don't know that they were evangelized, but they were given the opportunity to attend choral evensong: http://artsyhonker.blogspot.com/2011/10/st-pauls-evensong-at-occupylsx.html
:) not by the efforts of the D&C, apparently.
