Further details
After a terrible review of one of his sermons on a Christian website, Adam has a crisis of faith which, to Alex's surprise, seems more serious than his usual biannual episodes of doubt.
While he's at home experimenting with leaving the cloth by sitting in his pants watching daytime telly and gambling on the internet, someone else is going around the parish impersonating a vicar to get free beers and avoid parking tickets.
Adam's meltdown comes to a head when he drunkenly comes on to Ellie at a vicars and tarts party in aid of the school library - and Alex finally snaps.
