11/29/2002 Entry: "Friday night"

Bene Diction is back, and returned with a brand-new look. And it's very nice. Just as you'd expect. Anyhow - welcome back BD. Some of us have missed you.BD reports a theory that "the lower a person’s religious conviction, the more likely he is to revere a particular celebrity" — which I found particularly interesting. It is only an hour or so ago that my wife was telling me about a discussion she'd heard on a radio programme which had presented evidence that Britain's teenagers increasingly have no ambition beyond being famous. The cult of celebrity does seem to be on the rise, and presents a new missionary challenge to the church.
