God Goes to Bloomsbury

Is God working in mysterious ways? Julie Burchill, one of those iconoclastic and fun-to-read journalists who could only emerge on the sceptered isle, is taking a year off to study theology (but don't worry--she'll still finish her lesbian teen novel):

"She had five controversial years at the Guardian before moving to the Times, where her first column two years ago talked about her conversion to Christianity. 'One moment I was sitting there on my Bloomsbury sofa, flicking through Time Out, idly wondering whose life to ruin next, and the next moment it was as if a mighty hand had broken--painlessly, patiently, purposefully--a huge jar of ointment over my head,' she wrote."

Many thanks to Relapsed Catholic for spotting this.
