I say 'generally been' and 'fairly' as I know it is not a uniform picture, but that has been my experience from talking to people from within those institutions. And, yes, of course many clergy and lay people blog. Of course concern to understand the medium is good - but that is rather different from the blanket ban that currently exists in some of these institutions.

I think it's an error to say the C-of-E is anti-blogging. I've received nothing but encouragement from Bishops, and anyone else who represents the "HEIRARCHY", and endless encouragement from C-of-E members in general. I've also been invited to address a theological college on how to make use of a blog, how to understand the medium, etc etc. I have heard concerns from colleagues that people who don't understand the medium may put themselves, their future employment, or their parish/college/institution into awkward situations by venting in public. I think concern about understanding the medium is only a good thing, don't you?
