Another ironic story - although not necessarily about human rights, or even Quakers, is the experience of the reverend John Lee, rector of St Paul's church, York, who was preaching recently on theft based on Ephesians 4:28* when what the tabloids would call 'cheeky' thieves lifted two laptops from a back office. There seems to be a lot of interest amongst the criminal fraternity these days in computers with databases, and this ecclesiastical hardware contained important training material. The laptops belonged to youth and children's workers. We understand there were some nice family photos on them too.
*'He who has been stealing must steal no longer, but must work' - or 'get a job' in current parlance.
