With the Rev Kevin Logan, Vicar of Christ Church, Accrington

JUST between me and you I am a bit of a devil. A red one, that is.

Not much of a confession really since all Red Devils are absolute, darling little angels after allowing Blackburn Rovers to score last Saturday, graciously allowing Ewood one more Premiership season.

No! Wait!

Now, gently relax your grip on the edge of this paper. If you were to tear it into tiny little pieces you'd only be cutting off your prose to spite your page. Okay - so, maybe, the Rovers win was deserved-ish. And, yes, we little devils can get possessed, from time to time, by our own demons of superiority.

And while on my supremacy kick, it's not just my team. There's my country. My family. God help me, there's even my top-of-the-Premiership church!

'Course, in the cold light of day, when common sense knocks out partisanship, the truth is otherwise. We're actually more a Burnley Turf Moor church - just thankful not to have got itself relegated!

When prejudice explodes, we get some very weird results: an exclusive church which really believes only its members are going to go to heaven, or Manchester City fans being sub-human, or extreme nationalists who think only white is right.

Somehow, we forget we are all made by the one God, and in his image so therefore all human life is equal to ours, and sacred.

Still fresh in my mind is the illogicality of last November's cenotaph parade as white-only politicians prayed only for the fallen whites to an off-white Jesus.

God help us all!

All human life is equal, and sacred
