Be careful what you wish for..

Well, I've done a lot of complaining on here about all the work I've had to do for school and uni. I couldn't wait for half term so I could have a little time to myself...well guess what...I'm bored!!Completely and utterly bored.
I was only in uni for twenty minutes today, and have had no work to do at home, so I've just kind of idled around. Moral of the story...be careful what you wish for...I reckon that hard work is much better than this everlasting boredom.

On the other hand, whilst I was sat waiting for my meeting in uni today, I happened upon a copy of today's Times. On the front page was a very interesting article, which you can see here.
Although I would welcome such a move from both Churches, it seems to me that the reason for doing so as suggested in this article is all wrong. Although, I suppose it is much the same kind of argument (well, different issues, but an argument over orthopraxis none the less) that separated the two hundreds of years ago.
I feel that perhaps there is too much distance between the Anglican and Catholic Churches these days to ever join the two again. Both sides would have to make incredible compromises, and if you know the Catholic Church, you will know that compromise is not a popular word! Having said that, I do believe that in general, religion can be a force for good...yes, I know that there are many troubles in the world caused by religion, but generally, you're average Christian does not want to cause anyone harm. Therefore, if the two largest Christian denominations will at least begin to talk with each other and discuss ideas, it can only be a good thing. It's certainly interesting times we are living in anyway...
