CONTACTS FROM AROUND THE WORLD

Its typical that the UK media have been afraid of Post the Host so far, leaving the Guardian and the World Service to carry the news far and wide.

The cynicism of the British Press, their obsession with celebrity and their lack of ease with sincere religious innovation renders them incapable, it seems, of understanding how extraordinary Post the Host is in the history of Christendom.

As Bishops, priests and the general public reel around the world at this new provision and as people contact us in horror or in excited support, the tabloids and broadsheets are lost in the forest of MP's expenses or Jordan's failed marriage etc...

Meanwhile, the landscape of the Christian church has altered for good. Alleluia.
