...on a bus this morning:
First Passenger (after noticing a prayer book in fellow-passenger's bag): I expect you are pleased with the new Bishop of London.
2nd Passenger:Well... um...it's not quite like that...
FP: And she was chosen just on merit.
2P: Well... no one merits it...
FP: That's a thought...
2P: Mmm...Christ chose twelve men. All the pagan religions had women priests. It would have been more usual to choose women. He was doing something quite specific...
FP: It's like the Jewish religion, isn't it? I mean, they only have men as rabbis...
2P: Yes.
FP: I hadn't really thought about it like that. Quite important really...
2P: Mmm. Well...yes.
