There are three tenets in the Christian faith that have always puzzled me. And I’m not being facetious. 1. How could John the Baptist baptize Jesus and what words could he use? 2. God the Father is supposed to have sent his only beloved Son to redeem mankind, but there’s no mention of God’s wife. 3. If the Holy Ghost impregnated Mary, wouldn’t that make Jesus divine on His father’s side and human on His mother’s? Maybe some of your readers can enlighten me.

Dear Mr Bedford: I'll have a latte before I begin my reply, in which I hope most graciously and charitably to ask your patience as we explore the possible answers to your questions.
ps, if you are a long time reader of the letters in the Anglican Journal, you will recall that it might just be one of Mr Bedford's favourite avenues of expression.
