Church of England clergy have been urged to avoid ‘problematic’ hymns – it’s no wonder the pews are empty
If you’re planning to attend a carol service tomorrow night, you might want to check out the hymn sheet first – make sure you don’t end up bellowing out: O Come, All Ye Wokeful.
You see, priests have been told to edit popular carols this Christmas in order to avoid (I really need to create a custom keyboard shortcut for this phrase) “causing unnecessary offence”. Quite why you would be in a church to begin with if you found Christianity so offensive has not been made clear.
Do you see many vegans in butchers demanding to talk to the managers? Last time you were down the pub, did you notice any teetotallers raging at the landlord about his “disgusting wall of booze”?
