I particularly like No 12 which reminds me of the time I passed a particularly hideous 'supermarket style' church and said to the family 'I bet that it is one of ours' ie Catholic. And it was!Pelerinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11242844701379703515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4795284845836270713.post-24757235813399819782013-08-05T00:48:39.724+01:002013-08-05T00:48:39.724+01:00Love it Love it Paintyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01296616623330303158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4795284845836270713.post-60915227848678454702013-08-05T00:47:18.963+01:002013-08-05T00:47:18.963+01:00Love it Love it Paintyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01296616623330303158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4795284845836270713.post-17562709366876298562013-08-05T00:21:03.345+01:002013-08-05T00:21:03.345+01:00Eileen - wonderful and now being passed on as it s...Eileen - wonderful and now being passed on as it should be<br />Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04475918926743850643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4795284845836270713.post-35308654264805201122013-04-28T20:06:04.341+01:002013-04-28T20:06:04.341+01:00I've always thought that an Anglican Exam for ...I've always thought that an Anglican Exam for prospective Bishops wouldn't go amiss><br /><br />Q1.

Last month someone tried to fit in three and now it's a parking place with bent railings and no doubt was called a name not found in the Good Book. For real fun in church box pews are required, why sometimes on high days and holidays we get congregations in double figures but its not Christian to boast.Pidgenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4795284845836270713.post-78219854008760909062012-03-27T13:20:28.541+01:002012-03-27T13:20:28.541+01:00Love it!

I have been reading with great interest, gigglement and profundity - thank you for your blog. Just curious, we have a church near here that has named their parking lots after books of the Bible and managed to use all of the NT and a good portion of the OT ("I parked in Matthew today, how about you? Aw, had to park all the way out in Ruth? That's too bad!"), they hire off-duty police to direct traffic on Sunday mornings, the inside looks like a multimedia stage and the stadium seats (numbering over 5000) have pull-up half-desks like a lecture hall - do you have any of those there?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4795284845836270713.post-85784147506891050982012-03-26T22:20:59.240+01:002012-03-26T22:20:59.240+01:00and aslo with you!
