"Evil-minded parishioners making life hell for clergy"

The Times reports that "troublemakers indulge in 'church hopping', moving on to the next church once they have had enough of the one they are in. Dr Savage says that these people suffer from neurotic personality disorders bordering on the psychotic. "

*gulps nervously and stares at fixed point on ceiling*

"Churches in Britain are a 'toxic cocktail' of bullying and terror, as parish priests struggle to lead congregations dominated by neurotic worshippers who spread havoc with gossip and manipulation."

Hyacinth from Keeping Up Appearances? Anyone?



But maybe this is all to be expected when you take the "angel" out of "Anglican".
