Church uses free beer to attract more men

Ladies, our secret is out! Bribing men to do something with the promise of beer is an age-old practice mastered by busy wives everywhere. But now, even the Church of England is beginning to embrace the power of free beer.
The lack of male attendance this year prompted the church to celebrate Father’s day by giving dads free bottles of beer, bacon rolls, and chocolate bars.
“It’s something that could be used as part of a service to encourage fathers to come,” Rt. Rev John Inge, the Bishop of Worcester, told the Telegraph. “Once they are in church, hopefully they will be challenged by the deeper questions around fatherhood.”
Bishop Inge hopes to see an increase of men attending church services, and like most wives will tell you, offering free beer is probably a great way to make that happen.

But can they drink while they’re in the church, or do they have to wait until they get home?
Too bad that sign is a fake.

Good grief. Challenge them. Give them hope. Give them tools to conquer sin.
What spiritual bankruptcy.
