It seems to be that some churches insist that we Mormons don't follow Biblical teachings but they seem to be the ones who believe things which have no Biblical basis (like the doctrine of the Trinity) which I find rather odd.

Cute ... but I don't think that something which has to state outright that it is a satire, is much of a satire. Personally, I liked the Nuke the Gay Whales bumper sticker. Also enjoyed for different and more serious reasons, Search for the Wrong-Eyed Jesus.

Thanks Margaret. Sounds odd but interesting, in some ways the review made me think of Jeremy Clarkson as I could imagine him and James May and Richard Hammond on that road.

Just been talking to 'ones grandpapa' and he has informed me that any ordained C of E vicar can do the registration (legal side) of weddings anywhere,but others cant eg methodist.

So that makes a CofE vicar even more versatile than a registrar then. Wow!
