Does this sound like your church?

From an article across the pond on Risk management...

In June this year the City Council threatened to fell seven horse chestnut trees because of the risk posed by their conkers. To quote from the report in BBC News online:-

The conkers are a danger to pedestrians, who could slip on the mulch they leave behind, according to the council.

The golf-ball sized horse chestnuts could also come crashing down onto passing cars, while sticks thrown by children to dislodge them could cause serious head injuries, the council has warned.

There are also fears that children gathering conkers are at risk from vehicles….

[T]he council said a child had been knocked down by a car while gathering conkers in the city recently.

Deputy council leader Harry Watson told the BBC: "Children forget all about road safety when they are trying to collect conkers.

"They enjoy collecting conkers and we want them to enjoy collecting conkers, but we want them to enjoy it in a safe environment."

"These particular trees are by a very busy road close to a busy school entrance."

Hahaha! Nice take on the church. I think I attended this one once.

Also liked your take on being a liberal/conservative. Have also found myself confused as to how the church can blow up clinics in the name of protecting unborn children, but then not expect more from our polititians when it comes to those who are already born but suffering in third world countries. Ignorance? Perhaps.
