I'm a vicar in a small rural village. I could never say this to my flock because of the outcry, but Reform are blatantly opposed to genuine Christian values and it's clear that anyone considering voting for them has not been listening to a single word I say each week
@fesshole You are a Vicar; the people's connection to God. You have a duty to guide them, because without the Holy Spirit, they might err. If your 'congregation' do not listen then it is they who err, not your failure. You only fail in not preaching the word.

@sjcooke66 @fesshole well, if we are going to be pedantic about the bible, then the vicar is not the people's connection to God.

But be that as it may, the bible does have stern warnings for those teaching the word of God who deliberately mismanages their ministry.

@rasmus91 @fesshole Did anyone say anything about the bible? I don't think so! I thought we were talking about the role of Vicars...
