Want a good laugh? Want to laugh at the church? Want to be secretly suspicious that the author has been sitting in your church committee meetings taking notes? Then Writes of the Church: Gripes and grumbles of people in the pews is probably the book for you.From Amazon, Sarum Bookshop, The Bible Readers Fellowship and other good Christian bookshops. An excellent book for your churchgoing friends, relatives or vicar. By the creator of the Beaker Folk. |
Perhaps you should have attended a service with the Countess of Huntingdons Connexion http://www.cofhconnexion.org.uk/history/ really great fun, or at least, supposed to be great fun. Several of my ancesters were in this lot, having abandoned the Catholic Church - out of the pan into the fire?
