Wales and Gnashing of Teeth

It's all kicking off again at Bangor Cathedral, where the previous culture of being almost interesting has run into a bit of a hangover. Management has decided that the old régime of sex, booze and bad language must be atoned for in the traditional British manner, by sacking a lot of the little people and reducing the wages of the survivors. Since poverty and obedience apparently have no place in Wanglican Christianity, the choir responded to the penance with a protest song and then walked out. Such irreverence was all the more traumatic for taking place during the solemn and sacred rite when a dead Palestinian fundamentalist magics Himself into cheap wine and wafers; and the choir has been suspended for a month to meditate upon its transgressions. Management also recommends that everyone pull together for the sake of the Gospel, which might well fall into disrepute should expendable Christians fail to accept their martyrdom cheerfully enough.
