Richard Harries

For Christmas, Sam gave Gabriel Richard Dawkins' latest: The Greatest Show on Earth. In the first chapter he (RD) reproduces a letter sent, I think, to our erstwhile PM, Tony Blair, by himself and various scientists and clergymen. Prominent among them was Richard Harries, sometime Bishop of Oxford.

I am, for this reason, seriously downgrading my overall opinion of Harries.

I am off to Waterstones this afternoon to buy myself a copy of the book. When I have read it, I shall share my thoughts here.
