FAITH IN THE C OF E

* The bishop's car ran out of petrol,

* But much to his relief his wife remembered passing a garage half a mile back down the road.

* He searched the boot for a container,

* But he could only find his baby grandson's potty, so it had to do!

* He trudged to the petrol station,

* Then back with a full container.

* The leader of a new independent church, driving by,

* Recognised a fellow Christian in need 'and stopped his car to offer-help.

* As he approached he saw the bishop pour the contents of the potty into the tank.

* The man-gasped and said: 'If I'd known they had faith like that in the Church of England I'd never have left!'
