LONDON (Reuters) - Police in eastern England are looking to God to help them catch vandals and burglars.Phew! That ought solve everything. Why didn't anyone think of this before? I mean if you've got God on your side....
The Lincolnshire branch of the Christian Police Association is setting up a "Prayer Watch" scheme to alert Christians to local crimes.Oh lord...
As well as encouraging worshippers to keep an eye out on their churches and each other, the police said the scheme would allow Christians to use prayer to help catch criminals.Ooh you are so big..
"It's largely geared to protecting congregations and church properties which are pretty vulnerable places, but with the added bolt-on aspect of prayer," a Lincolnshire police spokesman told Reuters Wednesday.So absolutely huge...
Retired London policeman Don Axcell, the national executive director of the Christian Police Association, said God did answer crime-busting prayers.Gosh, we're really impressed down here I can tell you....
Can you help us catch that bloke who defaced the church pews?
"I'm a great believer in the power of prayer and all I'd say to the skeptics is that I've seen it work too many times for it to be a coincidence," he told the Lincolnshire Echo newspaper.Ha! That showed them Godless heathens!
