Quote:A Christian policing group which believes that the power of prayer can catch criminals and keep officers safe from harm has been awarded a £10,000 grant from the Home Office to widen its involvement with local church groups.

linky.

Tax money well spent me thinks.

I think a huge BBQ with the local church groups will strengthen the bonds within the community.

I should contact them and sell them some, "crime warding" rings. Studies have shown that they downsize crime while enlivening the spirit! Clairvoyents have been known to see an instant brightening of the aura when people put the rings on. Oh, and you can control Sylphs with them to manipulate orgone energy.

What is the money to be used for? Pamphlets?
