Dave don't worry. What your cartoons do, I think, is remind us about how many loyal and faithful Christians are loving and serving and caring for their communities on a daily basis and just trying to follow Jesus, and that, I think, is an important thing to remember.
Thank you for acknowledging the CofE situation and being honest about your questioning. A lot of what I've seen in news reports has been people saying the same thing about the good work happening at local/parish level, taking safeguarding seriously etc. That's the context for your cartoons, so don't worry if you're not addressing the institutional stuff, maybe that's someone else's job.
Thank you Penny. That's appreciated. Upon reflection: I think it should also be my job, so I'm hoping to address the subject more next year, with the help of others.
Dave, it was good to read that...and all very sensitive. Carry on with cartoons as you do. Sometimes, returning from a busy and mad day followed by raging nonsense at a PCC, your cartoon saved me from an extra whisky!
Thank you Adrian, and sorry to have been so slow to reply. I really appreciated this comment as it is exactly what I hope for my cartoons. Not that I'm in a position to comment on the extra whisky...

Thank you Sue. Yes, I think it is, and it's good to hear this expressed, so thank you.

Thanks Dave. Wasn’t aware of JW’s farewell speech until you mentioned it, guess I’ll have to look it up now…
Stay positive, keep doing what you’re doing: works for me 👍
Thanks again Phil for encouraging comments.
Thank you all. Individual replies planned, but when my mind is clearer.
