You couldn't make it up, part #3446.

Anglican bishop kicks cheerful choir out of "his" church, even though they had booked it and had performed there for years. He did so in bare feet, wearing a dressing gown.

"You are in my house", the pompous bishop said. (Jesus would disagree on the ownership attribution.)

Priceless. Anthony Trollope could not invent a better plot.
