Yup, it’s that time of year to wheel out the curate, the lay minister, the retired bishop or whomever else you have lying around and give them the Trinity to preach on. Meanwhile the church wardens, elders or circuit Sanhedrin can prepare the stake and kindling in the carpark. Please find below a bundle of … More Trinity #HeresyAlert
