The C of E skint! Ha! it still has £4 billion in assets, but I don't see them handing out the cash to pensioners and the needy. Nothing fails like prayer! The C of E skint!

Sun, 12 Oct 2008 19:13:51 +0000 http://www.freethinker.co.uk/?p=2097#comment-8667 They've called a 'Day of Prayer' in my neck of the woods on Thursday, 16th - anyone know if this is a national thing? Big joke is they've said all C of E churches will be open for the day - and funnily enough that can't happen as they're so stretched for cash they've been replacing all the full time vicars with 'hobby vicars' (lay clergy) as they retire,then selling off the vicarages. Next step to balance the books seems to be selling off most of the village and minor churches to property developers as they're not getting used. Empty, cashless and holding a closing down sale - no wonder they're praying! They’ve called a ‘Day of Prayer’ in my neck of the woods on Thursday, 16th – anyone know if this is a national thing?
