Radio 4, Thought for Today, Thursday 2 August, Dr Rev Alan Billings. Firstly he said whatever the circumstances of the disappearance of Madeleine he had sympathy for the family. Fair comment. He then got lost as a child, told us about it. OK. Then he compared the disappearance of Madeleine and the distress of her parents to Jesus when he went missing in the Market Place and Mary and Joseph were frantically looking for him. I do not see the analogy, Jesus I seem to remember was about 12 years old (correct me if I am wrong) plus he went off to preach, Jesus also had loving, caring, responsible parents who lost sight of him in a crowded market place. Is this comparison the official line of the Church or just one person's rather nieve view of the matter?
