Apparently, he would have clamped down on peaceful protesters because all the people on the exec board/top table are bankers.
In the same way that if he was high up in the US Republican party who claim to be so close to god, he would kill or let others die in order to progress his own wealth.
Or not.
St Paul's legal advice said that if they negotiated with the protesters to sort out access etc it would give them a legal right to stay.
Giles Fraser said:
"I would want to have negotiated down the size of the camp and appeal to those there to help us keep the cathedral going, and if that meant that I was thereby granting them some legal right to stay then that is the position I would have had to wear ... I believe that we embarked upon a course of action that would lead to a place where I didn't want to go."
and my favourite quote of his:
"St Paul was a tentmaker. If you looked around and you tried to recreate where Jesus would be born – for me, I could imagine Jesus being born in the camp,"
I like him.

I will give this till 10am before it has become the usual anti-Christian rant...However since he was the son of a joiner, he would never have been accepted by the trustafarians/gap decade protestors.
Brilliant. Complain about one type of prejudice while voicing your own ill informed one. Congrats.
However since he was the son of a joiner,
Unlikely. The whole "carpenter" thing is a translation error, apparently. Used euphemistically for "wise person".
Actually lifer I am making an obsevation based on the way these threads normally go; not complaining. Bearing in mind the normal flavour of your posts,you may find it difficult to understand there is a difference between the two. So inform me, who are the protestors who can give up their time to camp outside a church for a few weeks?

Is that why Clerk of Works are almost always ex-joiners?

euphemistically or sarcastically?
What kind of wise person takes his pregnant wife on hols during festival time without booking a hotel before he sets off?
S
hame that the Cannon had to resign for standing up for what the church is supposed to support.
The Canon didn't have to resign. But if he hadn't, they'd have fired him.
Go bowling of course...
Jesus would in this day and age have to have adapted tot he modern age, he'd be holding sermons explaining how he was composed from particles subject to electromagnetism and that his father was the biggest magnet and y'all were little magnets and if you didn't all do the right thing the other bad magnet would get you and you and Gary Gilter would spend eternity together..
Sure Jesus would be around, he's everywhere right? What would he do.. wellllll..... methinkie he'd be doin' this..
He'd be somewhere on his 29erSS hammering the hills as we speak, with his long flowing (greying) hair and beard being buffeted by the wind, his robes covered in mud flapping in the breeze, wearing a cheesy smile, a splattered fly neatly squished on his forehead, whilst wearing a pair of "World Champ Replica" Oakley Jawbones and a pair of worn out SPUDs.He'd be sporting a pair of lycra bibs under his robes mind to avoid chafe, though last time I saw him he wasn't wearing baggies over the top..
Does this make him a "Stylee Icon" I wonder, or some fashionista Faux "Phah"
Jesus rides 29erSS's.
All Hail Purity.
I love religion!!
Here's why http://dawonderful.blogspot.com/
Bikebouy, we have established already on this thread that Jesus was a wise man, so 29er yup....SS...No way!
Heresy! Jesus would never ride SPD's..
So inform me, who are the protestors who can give up their time to camp outside a church for a few weeks?
I don't know who they all are, I haven't done a census. But having chatted to a few some work during the day and are there in the evening, some are using up holiday, some are students, some are unemployed and some are retired.
But I can see how lazy stereotypes are attractive, it makes things much simpler.
Hearsay! He does..
Jesus rode an ass..
So he would ride the biking equivalent, some sort of single speed on one.

Haven't you almost described Ed Oxley?

Might explain why he moved in a mysterious way.

Like Ed, Jesus would be on flats.
I really enjoyed the media's use of a thermal imaging camera "some of these tents have no people in them!" as if it somehow detracts from what they’re trying to achieve.
When you see who the source was for the '90% empty' claim it all becomes clear:
Well, there is one other constant between the Times and Telegraph stories, and that is the presence of Matthew Richardson, a councillor in the Corporation of London. And sure enough, he provides the money quote:Thermal imaging has shown that most of those tents are empty — about 90 per cent. It just shows that the majority of people don’t have the conviction to stay here. They are here to cause trouble, and leaving a tent here is a way to do that.
And

Or based on my observations of demo's I have been to. However, maybe I haven't been going to the "right" protests, (you know, boring stuff about the Iraq war, Poll tax,job cuts) As an aside, most of the people trying to start fights at these,especially recently, have seemed to be professional protesters. Except at the poll tax one, that was everybody v Strathclyde Police. Of course,that is just me employing a lazy stereotype,isn't it?
The crowd outside the Church would probably known as the Peoples front of Judea in Jesus's time.
Occupy London empty tent claim based on rubbish science

What have other protests got to do with it? This is quite different.

Steroetype - an image or idea of a particular type of person or thing that has become fixed fixed through being widely held.
Well it may not fit the strict definition of a stereotype as you are basing it on prior experience, but it's certainly prejudiced which, and please correct me if I'm wrong, isn't generally considered to be a particularly Christian trait.
How many days was the Iraq protest? Poll Tax?

Female bishops? Gay clergy? You're right, the Christian churches have no truck with prejudice.
Do you mean Anglican Churches Nick?
I'm sorry but Jesus would be wearing these.. Proven.
