I have no problem with short sharp readings and sermons (the shorter and sharper the better) but going to a morning service and coming home at tea time is taking it a bit far.<br /><br />The lucky thing is that there is a coffee shop attached and we were able to retire there individually or as a congregation to use the facilities, while the Vicar with the stamina of Sampson continued.<br /><br />The heartfelt Amen at the end from all at the end of the Sermon, nearly lifted the Rafters.<br /><br />This has shown me that it's better to read the books at home and avoid hearing them in church.
