Yeah, but now both Synod and the Methodists have agreed to the Covenant, th=
at will be put right.

Whether the Methodists will adopt bells however, is a different matter. I =
think those two delicious Taylor chimes - Alfreton (10 + 2) and Grainger's =
Lane (8) and the G&J 10 bell chime at West Ham Central Mission are the only=
Methodist installations, in England anyway.

No doubt there will be a flurry of others. Meanwhile enjoy your Wesley's B=
est Bitter.

This thread brought to mind a recent Sunday afternoon when I rang for (an=

(which is an LEP Shared church).

Apparently, according to the speaker, the great man used to speak out aga=
inst the evils of drinking tea - he himself far preferring to drink beer.

Clearly the Methodists got the message a bit wrong somewhere along the li=
ne.

Clearly a teetotaller. There is usual alternative liquid entertainment=
available nearby, sufficient of which would have rendered him insensible t=
