Conscience Money

From the time of St Paul until now, it has been the privilege of Christians to re-write the teachings of their Saviour; and the late Archbishop of Canterbury has duly utilised his CEO's privilege to improve upon the Sermon on the Mount. Rather than giving alms in secret, as commanded in Matthew 6 i-iv, his grace has augmented his comedy turn in the Lords with a donation in his own name to the Children's Society; which, given the reasons behind his belated resignation, provides further insight into the theological subtleties of the archiepiscopal sense of humour. Alas, the Children's Society has declined to be in on the joke.
