    Preposterous. Viewers would [i]expect[/i] to see a cross in an Anglican church. Were I the vicar, I would have told the crew to stop filming and leave (and the crew would probably have reversed its demand on the spot).

    What an extraordinary case of PC double-standards.

    Something which was mentioned on the BBC report on this was that the parish received a rather large “location fee” from the TV people. They have decided to use part of the money to purchase…(wait for it)

    A PROCESSIONAL CROSS!!!

    God does have a sense of humor!!
