Fantabulosa church service

I thought this was wonderful, and I'm not even gay.

An Old Testament reading from the Prophet Joel which says "rend your heart and not your garments, return to the Lord your God" was printed in Polari as "rend your thumping chest and not your frocks - and turn unto the Duchess your Gloria: for she is bona and merciful". Instead of the traditional "Glory be to the father, and to the son, and the Holy Spirit" the prayer offered was: "Fabeness be to the Auntie, and to the Homie Chavvie, and to the Fantabulosa Fairy".

Unfortunately the CoE has felt it necessary to apologise.

Quote:

The principal of Westcott House, the Rev Canon Chris Chivers, said the liturgy of the service had not been authorised for use. He said: "I fully recognise that the contents of the service are at variance with the doctrine and teaching of the Church of England and that is hugely regrettable. "Inevitably for some members of the house this caused considerable upset and disquiet and I have spoken at length to those involved in organising the service. "I will be reviewing and tightening the internal mechanisms of the house to ensure this never happens again."
