I hope they have a nice BBQ from that money with the local church groups to encourage interaction. All paid for by the tax payers of course.Deep Sea Isopod wrote:

A Christian policing group which believes that the power of prayer can catch criminals and keep officers safe from harm has been awarded a £10,000 grant from the Home Office to widen its involvement with local church groups.

Re: £10,000 grant to pray for police.
So we are paying for the police to be prayed for ...and then paying for the Pope to visit ... If the Police guarded the Pope on their own time and money wouldn't he pray for them and we could all save a load of money ???
