Re: The Vicar of York
Holy row greets fatherly advice from York vicarChurch of England priest Tim Jones preaches it's OK to shoplift, though it's best from a big retail company not family business, Father Tim Jones, the
parish priest of St Lawrence and St Hilda in York, told his
congregation on Sunday that certain vulnerable people face difficult
situations.
"I would ask that they do not steal from small, family businesses, but
from large national businesses, knowing that the costs are ultimately
passed on to the rest of us in the form of higher prices," he said, adding: "I would ask them not to take any more than they need, for any
longer than they need."

Re: The Vicar of York
I've lost faith in vicars,priests et al. I was baptised as a baby in a little welsh chapel by a minister who, along with his lovely wife and family helped anyone they could. No "Fancy dress" or a church that cost the earth to maintain. Just a small wooden hall. Our minister worked hard for his congregation and lived to the grand old age of 89. He was known as "Pop" and well loved by both adults and kids. So unlike these so called "Men of the cloth" nowadays. How many of these are really dedicated I wonder.|
