Some quotes.
The concept of two people living together for 25 years without having a cross word suggests a lack of spirit only to be admired in sheep.
It's hard to say why writing verse
should terminate in drink or worse.
Well, fancy giving money to the Government! Might as well have put it down the drain.
Holy Mother, we do believe
that without sin, thou didst conceive;
may we now, in thee believing,
also sin without conceiving.
What a truly wonderful man!
Who was this character, and can anybody tell me more about him? Thanks.
About Me
- Michael
- I am an Orthodox Christian and a Reader in the Diocese of Great Britain and Ireland, serving with the blessing of His Grace Archbishop Mark. I struggle along, much like most people, but I do what I can, by God's grace. I have a love for the worship of the Orthodox Church - both eastern and western - and long for the day when we have a local Orthodox Church in Britain, giving a single voice and witness of the ancient Faith of these isles to the people of these isles, with their various backgrounds and walks of life.

If I remember correctly, A. P. Herbert was responsible for a bill legalising divorce for cruelty/abandonment in the late 1930s in Britain.

On A. P. Herbert, you may check out this American's appreciation, as well as a brief biographical entry. Herbert was also one of the last MPs for Oxford University, serving from 1935 until 1950. (Oxford and Cambridge used to have two seats each in Parliament; their seats were eliminated by Attlee's Labour government in 1948, to commence with the new Parliament elected in 1950.)
