Bless this car
After decades on the slide has the Anglican church has finally realised what it needs to do to appeal to middle england - tut loudly about hoespipe bans and not getting the Vectra washed.Church members in Manchester are offering passing motorists a car wash with holy water. Levenshulme Baptist Church regulars plan to clean cars with the gallons of left-over water from this Sunday's baptismal service.
The blessed water from the church's baptism pool, in which people are immersed as part of the service, will be recycled for the washes.
Members say it makes the free washes environmentally-friendly.
Minister of Levenshulme Baptist Church, Ian Spence: "We are pleased to offer a different kind of service to the community."
Score! Get your car washed and vampire-proofed at the same time.
Rev Spence has yet to reply to my suggestion of a 'holy foaming nun, handwash special'. I expect he's busy with the buckets and sponges.
Remember, the power of Jesus compels you to check you've lowered the aerial and folded the mirrors in.

I've got some black rubber habits the Rev can use to limit soap stains to his nun's garb.

Hullo there, glad you could make it.
Can you be this blog's very own "Thought for the day" style Religious car issues expert? We could call you the Rev Counter.

I do hope so that that was the real Rev Spence, Rev Counter is inspired.
On a lightly irreverent note, my cousin is an Anglican vicar and we came up with a range of clerical car accessories some time back, such as a figure of the Sacred Heart that you put in the back, with each hand being an indicator, and the heart bit being a high level brake light. He hasn't driven since being hit by lightning 38 time in a row until he apologised.. me, I booked my hot seat a long time back.
