Vicar preaches Lord’s swear

OK, I can agree with getting streetwise, but do you really have to swear to be understood ??

I think not :O(

A VICAR has urged the Church to get "streetwise" - by encouraging worshippers to SWEAR.

Rev Michael Land, 67, risked controversy by claiming Jesus regularly turned the air blue.

The vicar, who preached for 28 years in London's East End said: "I'd have no problem using the F-word in a sermon if it meant I was connecting with people. The number attending services is falling and the church needs to modernise so it doesn't fall behind completely.

"If that means swearing I say, 'Why bloody not?' People place Jesus on a pedestal. They'd probably be shocked by his language. He was poor and lacked any real education."

Married dad-of-three Mr Land also told how he used the F-word on a motorist who cut him up. He said: "I wound my window down and said, 'Why don't you learn to f***ing drive'. He just walked away."

The Church of England Rev now preaches at St Mary's in sleepy Burghill, Herefordshire. Yesterday a woman parishioner in her 80s said: "I'd feel uncomfortable if he started effing and blinding."

If swearing is a way to bring people back to Church, then the visit to the church would not be worth anything at all. He is so wrong.
