Cardboard cut-out vicar
A church parish in Essex has issued a plea for a new vicar, with a comical YouTube video.
Cardboard cut-out no match for real vicar
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.
