sunderland_crest.jpgThe British religious news service Ekklesia is currently running a with the headline, "Footballer takes Presbyterian top job". According to this report, the new Irish Prebyterian moderator, Dr David Clarke, is a former professional fotballer. In fact, Dr Clarke's brother Eric was the footballer in the family. Oops.

Perhaps the journalistic demons were more active than usual yesterday, when the report was filed. After all, the date was 06/06/06.

An own goal for Ekklesia's reporting! I looked at the link and their website but I dont know much about that group. Apart from this inaccurate report they do seem to be quite OK. Like their stuff about progressive thinking, though im not religious myself.

We did indeed drop the ball, score an own goal and generally foul up. A correction has been made :)
