Fr John Chandler of St Edmund's Church, Southampton has cancelled a booking from a yoga instructor to hold classes in the church hall.
Predictably, this has produced squeals of outrage from those council run 'all faith' groups.
Fr Chandler is clear on his grounds for not holding yoga classes on church property, namely, that the classes were advertised as being "spiritual" in formation and, as such, would be contrary to the teachings of Holy Mother Church.
Well done Fr Chandler.
It will not have escaped anyone's notice that this church is in the Diocese of Portsmouth.
I believe that the new Bishop will approve.
