If the Archbishop has such an impact with the guy upstairs then he should be jailed for not asking for rain earlier. Why wait until December? The dams would have been overflowing by now.

Well observed Banniot!

What sort of god needs some bloke on the ground to tell him when to make it rain. He must be up there in a blind panic........ 'oh god I forgot about africa again, oh and I left the tap on in Hull ohhh no....'

The causal connection between praying and rain. How can you tell that if they did not pray it would rain?

maybe Bill has the best solution.....

Not daft his nibs the archbishop. He can read the 7 day forecast as well!

Rain in Cyprus at last!
"The Archbishop Christostomos II was right. Prayers bring rain. The drought that had weighed upon Cyprus for four years, over which it virtually never rained, ended this week-end", explains the daily. "[On November 26th] the archbishop of Cyprus had sent a circular letter to parish priests requesting them to exhort their congregations to prey together for 'almighty God to put an end to the drought'. Some of our readers had smiled at the time, whilst being aware that such a water shortage had not been noted since 1998. . ... The Sunday service had just begun [December 2nd] when the rain came pouring down. Whether miracle or mere coincidence, the farmers were aglow with joy."


Surely a day of rain does not mean the drought is over!!!

Anyone else think this thread belongs under 'Jokes and Enigmas'?

Typical of the church to pounce on litterally anything to claim divine intervention!!!

Yea it is teeming down here in Lincolnshire. Really looking forward to visiting your lovely island for a few weeks next month.
It may rain but it will be warmer than January in Britain.
Cheers.
