In a surprise statement, the leader of the Orthodox Druid religion blasted members of the Reformed Druids. In his Statement, Leif R. Godsen said that teaching young druids that worshipping bushes is totally inconsistent with the teachings and education of the core Druid Religion.  He called upon all druids to reject the policy in their education of bush Worshipping,saying that only through bark can one attain the true spirit of God and "bushes dont have bark, much less bite".

The leader of the Reformed Druid movement, Holly Golightly Bush, dismissed the criticism and said that worshipping bushes was totally in keeping with the spirit and education of the policy of the Druids. "Bushes are our friends, not food." she was quoted as stating.

The bushes had no comment.
