My first idea was a dig at his eyebrows and his mother wanting to trim them for the "telly," but I think this one better:

To George Bush, "You want me to say God bless America? Are you serious?"

Rowan discovers the delights of public self-flagellation

Michael F. Bird said...

Thief! Since you've got more responses than I did, you can have it. Here's my caption:

"Ha ha ha ha ... you fools ... the end is nigh ... ha ha ha ... GAFCON will destroy us all ... ha ha ha ... Gene Robinson ... TEC ... repent I tells you, repent ... before we perish ... ha ha ha ... the end is come ... EPA ... EPA ... EEEEPA."

EPA means environmental protection agency and is ripped off from Grandpa Simpson's apocalyptic vision from the Simpson's Movie.

Carrying his sportsbag and wearing his whistle, the referee for the Lambeth Conference just before being led away for a drugs test.

Surprise and delight at Lambeth, as news arrives of a new colony of several million Anglicans on Mars - and all of them fully loyal to the Global Communion.

Ben, the Betty Ford Centre has just telephoned me to ask me to inform you that Kim is right. The referee says Kim wins.

Upon hearing that one of the journalists had actually read the sharia lecture, Dr Williams seemed pleasantly surprised.

The Archbishop remembers his book ...

According to Athanasius, it was a Saturday when the emperor ordered Alexander to admit Arius (at the liturgy on the following day). Faced with this ultimatum, Alexander (accompanied by Athanasius' friend, the presbyter Macarius) withdrew to the episcopal church (Hagia Eirene) and prayed that either he or Arius might die before morning. Arius meanwhile, smitten by 'the necessities of nature', retired to a public lavatory, and died, apparently from some kind of internal haemorrhage or rupture. The emperor and the city were duly shocked and edified. (Arius, p.81)

... wonders if the Church Father could have been right, and suddenly considers that history might repeat itself.

Ren said...

"Ah, finally, someone who understood Arius: Heresy and Tradition!"

I think the Irish Times should be the winner:

Such as the refreshingly candid bishop who earlier this week and, in private, on seeing again the omnipresent Bishop Gene Robinson, that actively gay man whose ordination precipitated the current crisis within Anglicanism, wondered openly, "has he not been shot yet?"

Remember that 60's song by Napoleon XIV? He's probably saying something like this:

"They're coming to take me away! Ha Haaa, Ho Ho, Hee Hee . . ."

It's ALL maddening, isn't it? I think the Photog caught him in the middle of the ". . . Haaa . . ."

After weeks of careful thought, Rowan finally conceives a clever, and apparently humorous, way to reapply the acronym GAFCON!

Concerned he forgot something, Rowan thinks to himself . . . "Ok, I've got my clerical collar, my bible is in my man-bag, my eyebrows are freshly Spocked . . . oh S%*t! I forgot my pants!"

He reminds me of Obe-Wan.

Which also reflects his current position quite well.

In yet another innovative move for his congregation, the Archbishop advertises his plan to replace rather conventional communion wine with the trendy Red Bull Energy Drink.
