Simple Country Blogger Watch.

Some of yesterday's entry:

Earlier, I had contacted Sir Ian McKellen, arguably the greatest living Shakespearean actor (and Gandalf in the Lord of the Rings series), to see if he wanted to help introduce the documentary "For the Bible Tells Me So" in its British premiere on Monday evening. He enthusiastically said yes, and he and I spent a wonderful evening at his home planning the event. It turned out better than either of us anticipated.

What better way to keep the focus on the mission of the Church than to spend the evening hawking a film about yourself (what else?) and hob-knobing with a famous British actor who thinks the Bible is "fiction."

Tomorrow it's off to Canterbury, uninvited, to play the heroic-victim some more. It's where the cameras will be.
