this is my first post; to start with I thought the Pope's visit to the UK went well, though I'm not sure I agree with everything he says; Christianity must find it's own way and with dwindling numbers going to church, it seems that there needs to be a miracle for a return to the numbers of say 50 years ago; life is more secular, and the role of the church has diminished in our society-yet the core of western civilisation is rooted in Christian principles, ethics and moral values-the fact that people do not go to church does not imply there is a lack of belief or faith in a God, but perhaps it is the Church as an institution that needs to change, become more modern and appeal to a new generation of worshippers.
I'll be using this blog to publish poets I think need more air play and I'll be putting up reviews of poetry and my thoughts on the poetry scene, as well as making cultural, political and social comments.
