We have one or two of each and if you come to a Sunday service, your prone to meeting the choir on reception, the church warden on flower arranging and the flower arrangers singing. The Vicar is playing the organ, while the curate is wielding the thurible (being a migrant from Cuba only cuban incense from cigar ash is permitted) The Organist is presiding at the Eucharist and the Arch Deacon is lying in the corner with a brown bag over his/her/its head in case a bishop appears and gets mugged by the 8 OClocker(s) who have finally managed to get out of their pews due to the three, competing worship bands, blocking all of the aisles. In the corner, Mrs Sharples in composing the parish magazine with crayons and 54 under two's, gratefully discarded by parents who than buggered off to the pub. A fairly normal Anglican Church, on a typical Sunday.UKViewerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18114944341930758335noreply@blogger.com
