My kind of Christian. I saw him at Euston station once.
I came to realise that every time we recognise something human in creatures, we are also recognising something creaturely in ourselves. That is central to the rejection of human supremacism as the pernicious doctrine it is.

 Met him a few times amid the glaur at Faslane.
John Bell and I were earing pink and yellow pyjamas...it was near Holocaust day.
He managed to look presentable....
Very sincere in his faith and his convictions.
(and a sense of humour which was brilliantly biting to boot)
"for, as long as but a hundred of us remain alive, never will we on any conditions be brought under English rule. It is in truth not for glory, nor riches, nor honours that we are fighting, but for freedom - for that alone, which no honest man gives up but with life itself."
