Welcome to the blog of my 2011 summer visit to Azerbaijan! I might be a bit early, I admit, since I don't actually fly to Baku for another two and a bit months, but I suppose as much as anything, I need reminding that I'm actually going!
The decision to write this second blog under the Ex fide profile is, admittedly, an attempt at self-branding; and why not? It could be that readers of the Anglo-Catholic blog might have had their interest piqued by Azerbaijan's victory in the Eurovision Song Contest, and they might want to follow me around the Land of Fire in August when, according to the religious traditions of the City of London, "God goes on holiday".
Anyway, thanks for reading the first post of the pretentiously named blog In the Land of Fire!
