"The comfort of the familiar when the world goes to hell is something that the Church has ditched too casually; for the world is always changing, including the Shipping Forecast....the forecast’s familiar, regular cadences have warmed many of our hearts on a cold night while the wind beat against our bedroom window pane, and at least for a while they will continue to do so, even if now only twice a day."
