Church & State
A rare day off for Stephen Phillips on Sunday saw him and his family welcomed to the morning's family service at Leadenham by the rector, Dr. Alan Magahey, and other members of the congregation. With the snowdrops (if not the sun) poking through, and perhaps a little touch of spring in the air, Stephen was given no respite from politics however: the sermon was all about how earthly power counts for naught in the great scheme of things. "We have our own church in the village where I live", Stephen said on his way to Sunday lunch, "but it's good to get out occasionally and to see what everyone else is up to in the other churches in the constituency. I wasn't expecting such a warning from the pulpit though! Next time, I shall come better prepared to deal with Alan's arguments and to give him my own fire and brimstone in reply!"
