Last night I had dinner with two Methodist students and their partners. Nothing strange about that except that these are pre-ordination students training for ministry in the Methodist Church and I am arranging a placement for them in Cape Town, South Africa, one of the most beautiful countries that I have ever visited - except for Yorkshire of course. These students and their partners are very nice people - kind, gentle folk who mind their p's and q's and will be no trouble what so ever to their placement host.
Now, we all know that there is a very important rugby match coming up on Saturday when England take on South Africa in the finals of the world cup.
Having read what their placement host has to say about the this match, particularly his prediction for the result, I am beginning to wonder about the wisdom of sending such innocents half way across the world in the care of a person who clearly lacks sound judgement. I shall enjoy sending him an England rugby shirt as a gift when we win...just as a reminder!

I keep reminding myself that Jesus loves the marginalized, and the sick and the blind and the lame,.... so he must love the English too!
Stop eisegesing,Pete. Jesus Loves everyone!
The real theological question is; Does Jesus Like the English?
A more appropiate verse, when considering the odds at the beginning of the RWC, would be '... and the last shall be first.'

Yes - Jesus likes the English - but he loves the Boks!
