I note David Keen's article referencing the theory that Church is too easy for men. Which saddens me as I like to think that, through providing endless opportunities to light tea lights or dabble with scented oils, and endlessly talking about our inner feelings, we make it hard enough for them already.
So we're introducing a new and rigorous programme for the men in the Beaker Folk. When walking down the "corridor of uncertainty" between the Great House and Moot House, they will in future be sprayed with ice cold water from the corridor walls. If any man is caught looking bored during a sermon, I will lob a conker at them. And we've rigged the television schedule so that, whenever there is a football match on, instead we will be re-showing a DVD of "Truly, Madly, Deeply".
I'm not sure exactly how this is going to help us in our mission to men, but I'm willing to give it a try.
What on earth is "Truly, Madly, Deeply"?
ReplyDeleteWhatever it is, it sounds painful to the male ear....
Stuart, it's best you don't know.
ReplyDelete@Stuart - "Truly Madly Deeply" has Alan Rickman as a cello-playing terrorist trying to take over an office building - or something like that.
