Phil Baty's report ("Clerics up in arms as reverend rejected", THES , June 22) on Andrew Brown's exclusion from the Lambeth MA in theology on the grounds that he is a Unitarian misses two details that show the decision to be as absurd as it is unjust: namely, he has a first in theology from Oxford University and is secretary of his local Council of Churches in Cambridge. This is seemingly not enough to spare Archbishop Carey's blushes.
