In my first term, I’d worked out that any religious teaching that couldn’t stand on it’s own merits, that needed such barbaric and unsubtle enforcement had to be deeply suspect.

I had a fascinating time testing the place’s "religious ethic", particularly with my refusal to be confirmed.

I left the place a firm atheist, absolutely poisoned against religion, and it took a while before I got willing to look at the field with an open mind.

As irony, or perhaps kharma would have it, I’m now sincerely religious, and I wonder if St Andrew’s would be proud of an old boy that now teaches Tantra, Sacred Sexuality!

On a positive note at least this time every single old boy's email address wasnt stashed in the to: field. Maybe my ranting to them regarding the last 20 or so emails which I also received in dublicate, triplicate etc did help. <br> <br>May clue rain down with great vengance. ( and I'll mail them again offering help) <br> <br>Barry I fully agree with you paul, however a couple of points:
