Holy Fire

Fresh from inspiring the recent Lambeth blah-blah with a due sense of the important things in life, the Deity has toddled off to administer a bit of moral improvement in the land of Egypt. At least forty people have died and forty-five been injured in a fire at a Coptic church in Giza, where the God without Whose sanction a sparrow cannot fall took meticulous care to ensure that the flames obstructed the entrance and that most of the dead were children. Since the victims were innocents who are now presumably in Paradise, the Egyptian president offered his sincere condolences.
