Upon This Rock

Christian churches do not live by faith alone, but by every penny that can be squeezed out of their dupes and by holding good and tight to some very fancy real estate. Alas, the Church of England's relationship with Mammon is under renewed strain as the authorities have permitted a metal band to hold a concert at York Minster, and some among the congregation have decided not to turn the other cheek. Apparently one of the guitarists used to be in a different band wherein he wore a shirt proclaiming that Jesus was something potentially fertile and and pleasant to explore: a self-evident insult to the faith, its real estate and its magnificent organ.
