This book is now out! If you are a cleric or love a cleric, and you need a laugh (and it's clear we all do), and you'd like to support Canadian ecclesiastical art, then consider picking it up! ⚓

Shameless plug for an upcoming book from St. Lazarus Press! Coming August 26: CAUTIONARY TALES FOR CAREFUL CLERICS, a new volume of humorous poetry that warns of clerical errors and their often lethal, always hilarious consequences. If you like Mascall & Belloc, you'll like this. ⚓

Some priests in the Tales:
- The Rev. Canon Æthelstan Babbit (who omitted morning prayer & was killed by a bus)
- The Rev. Dr Sigismund Drone (who preached for too long & came to grief by a parrot)
- The Rev. Clopas Paroxysm (who refused to teach the catechism & was taken none knows where)

What do you think of the ones in the Hymnal? Unfortunately for any of the modern ones, I wouldn't be able to distribute on a nice sheet because of copyright -- but may be workable for congregational use to scan if your parish has a license.

Yes!!! That is great! Please of course feel free to use!
