Episcopal pastimes

Sir: A few weeks ago I noticed in my church porch a biographical note concerning the new Bishop of Guildford who lists among his recreational interests the act of sneezing. Last week I heard the Archbishop-elect of York tell us that his interests are household chores.

What can these man be at? Is not the established church absurd enough already?
