I am not a Brit, am not at all familiar with your blog, so let me explain myself a bit more. There has not a small amount of criticism about Ruth from Episcopal Church liberals. She was described by one as the “Ann Coulter of the Orthodox.” Very unfair, I will agree, but not my characterization. The purpose of the post was to get a debate going on whether Ruth was in fact trying to stir up things in the Anglican world through her blog, which typically has quoted right-wing American Episcopal blogs such as David Virtue’s “Virtueonline” and Greg Griffith’s “Stand Firm in Faith” while ignoring blogs from the left, such as “Episcopal Cafe” written largely by Jim Noughton of the Diocese of Washington or “Preludium,” written by Mark Harris, a member of the TEC Executive Council. I think Ruth defended herself quite well, and I was impressed with her forthright willingness to jump in. However, I still think that her blog lands, as far as commentary on the Episcopal Church goes, more firmly on the right. But, maybe this is what your Brits love to call a “pond difference.” Sort of like trunk/boot, truck/lorry, right?

And Ruth is a celebrity. Why? She has her own Wikipedia bio. (so jealous).
