Andrew B is one of the - literally handful - of journalists from whom I learn stuff, particularly about my own church, and have done for many years. I can rely on him to understand how the church differs from any other set up. His peculiar relationship with it is lively, real, rude and oddly loyal and I might even pay to subscribe, just to say Thank you for years of crotchety, penetrating and entertaining sagacity.

From my observations of bellringers on Facebook, I continue to find it striking that the people who most grumble about the failings of 'the CofE Politburo' (as one commenter described it to me) are often the same people who get annoyed about 'overzealous' safeguarding, e.g. certain churches which seemingly require even bands visiting the tower for an hour on an outing to have a load of safeguarding documentation or be barred from entry.
