Cardboard cut-out vicar
A church parish in Essex has issued a plea for a new vicar, with a comical YouTube video.
A church parish in Essex has issued a plea for a new vicar, with a comical YouTube video.
The Essex parish is looking for a new Associate Minister, with duties including:
developing and growing the churches
evangelising, through the parish sports teams
developing a ministry of prayer and Bible study.
But it is quite clear that he or she will also need a good sense of humour.
Alongside the formal job description on the Chelmsford diocesan website is a comical YouTube video, in which local church-goers spell out - quite literally - why there has been a hole in parish life without a vicar. It's performed complete with a cardboard cut-out clergyman and humourous out-takes.
"All it takes is for somebody to see me - and I could just die, just like that. I could want to go to the shop and not come home."
Before the killing, Peters searched the internet for "serial killers", "treatment of child killers in prison" and "premeditated murder".
Arriva Rail North, Greater Anglia and South Western Railway are all affected.
