[Magdalen] Terminology query (was Re: speaking of downsizing...)

[Marion Thompson]

To me, that's a New-Speak evangelical one, that I first ran into during 
yet another miserable class across the road at Wycliffe College.  :-(  
Everyone knew it save me.  Oh, well, I can at least sing along now.  Our 
area bishop loves Shine Jesus Shine and It is well.  I guess I'm the one 
who is out of step.

Marion, a pilgrim    I am dinosaur.  Hear me roar!
