Thanks. But we ARE serious about what we believe - even if the language we use seems, at times, antiquated. I hope the sun shines on GB again this year - last August we had great weather most of the time. Cheltenham Bible Festival won't compete - of that I am sure. We're each aiming at different markets with different products and I hope both prove successful.

Freedom Bound - love that definition of primary! Consider your seat reserved in pride of place in my hypothetical seminar ;-) Dave – contrary to the Groucho maxim, I think that in this case I’m unlikely to want to join a club that wouldn’t properly recognise me as a member.

And my Bible has never "spoken".........am I taking the wrong doctines? Liz - can I book a seat in the front row of your seminar? Preferably one like Dave's Greenbelt guide..... LOL Is men’s leadership called “primary” cos they still have to line up in pairs, ask teacher if they can go for a wee and colour in in crayons….and cry if they don’t get their own way?

You have gone some small way towards allaying my fears. Liz, I was concerned about posting this as I was worried you might defect and start organising the ‘other festival’.

Which is nice. No need for any of that messy stuff like a living God. And of course from the special For Women's area of the website: "We uphold the Biblical perspective that God calls men to the primary leadership role in family and church. Within that framework, we believe that women have been gifted with all sorts of complementary gifts, and that our churches are poorer if these gifts are not developed and used." Happily I've been developing my 'complimentary gift' of kicking misogynest's arses. Ooooooh ooooh! Dave, can you ask if I can do a seminar on that? I'll bring my own marquee and everything. ;-) They look like just my sort of people:

It would probably depend upon whether the Ale tent suppliers could sign the doctrinal basis. It might well be that someone planning to run a non-alcoholic grape juice tent would stand a better chance. Good question Neil.
