Commonplace (4)

Being praised or explained?

I am more or less happy when being praised, not very uncomfortable when being abused, but I have moments of uneasiness when being explained.

Arthur James Balfour, (1848 – 1930), Prime Minister 1902 to 1905. Quoted in Alan Bennett Writing Home (London: Faber, 1994) p. 321

The 3MinuteTheologian

Via Stanley Spencer, Self-Portrait, 1914
Who am I?

I'm Justin Lewis-Anthony, a priest in the Church of England, who is, either, "cocky" and "knowing" (Church Times) or "a bold, idol-smashing thinker" (Catholic Herald). I masquerade as the 3 Minute Theologian (words about God for the Attention Deficit Generation) and evangelist for the Killing George Herbert movement (slightly more than a movement of one by now).
