He leads his flock where they were wont to stray

An Anglican Bishop
by Raymond Tong

This Church of England bishop knows the way
to make his many doubts a source of praise.
Promoting every creed and each new craze,
he leads his flock where they were wont to stray.

An excellent summary of the decline of confidence within institutions and therefore the decline of confidence in institutions.

From The Spectator, September 5, 1987
