ROWAN WILLIAMS IS TALKING TO AN ADVISER.

ROWAN

You'd think in the credit crunch more people would be flowing back to church.

ADVISER

You asked us at Bartleby Humbert to do research into falling church attendance numbers. And the modern church is out of touch, people want some thing more traditional

ROWAN

Latin mass, incense that sort of thing?

ADVISER

More this sort of thing.

HANDS ROWAN A JOCK STRAP AND A BIG KNIFE.

ROWAN

What on earth?

ADVISER

It turns out 70% of UK citizens believe that human sacrifice can reverse the credit crunch. Christ is out, Mayan Sun worship is in.

ROWAN

I'm the head of the Church of England, not some pseudo relgious psychopath!

ADVISER

Well since the Catholics started burning heretics again, they've seen a 45% increase in attendance. Chief Rabbi Sacks has got a prime spot on Songs of Praise after stoning Vanessa Feltz to death.

ROWAN

Sigh what would Jesus do?

ADVISER

Listen to the polls.

ROWAN

Ok if it's good for the church. Who's first?

ADVISER

Mervin King, his low interest rates hav angered Quetzakoatal.

I always loved The Feathered Serpent as a kid...

Nice one.
