The interwebs are a force-multiplier, like a bow, or a Pole Axe. Using them, I helped create a major online Anglican news network (including inspiring & naming the unofficial alternative Canadian Anglican Newspaper), getting timely useful and officially ‘unapproved’ news out to the masses: I was hacked by the Episcopal Church (twice), mocked by online liberal Anglican news sources, even threatened with legal action by the Canadian Anglicans, and read (on the side) even by the liberals, because they couldn’t get news fresh & fast via the official organs, which were more interested in spin favourable to the politically correct revolution underway in the Church since the 1970s, and not to the well-being and holiness of the church, or the good of her misinformed flocks, who should just take it and keep ponying up forever, like good sheeples.

One guy (with some welcome geek-help): thousands of subscribers, zillions of hits, spawning and supporting other sites, slowing down & changing the nature of the Anglican decline. Binks was a big deal for a while. Enough was enough, however. As I recently wrote to someone, living inside a gangrenous corpse of a church is not a spiritually healthy life. The mutant pod-church that replaced real Anglicanism does not give life, it drains vampirically it.

Thence FreeMarkSteyn, for the past year– and thanks for the hits, and the friendship, and encouragement– this will keep on for a while. the binks

I suspect that the Binks and I would disagree profoundly about the Anglican faith, Church and the way forward. But we could also go and have a beer – or three. He is a joyous warrior and a gift to the ‘net. He has certainly made life Hell for assorted Bishops of my Church. As well he should.

What the internet does is give us all the capacity to hold holy feet to the fire.

I trust we’ll see more of that in 2009.

Happy New Year Binks…and all the rest of you shit disturbers out there in blogland.
