A priest/ vicar/ minister appeared on Antiques Roadshow with a possible Old Master painting last night - maybe a Van Dyck?

They did the usual is it/ isn't it pish and asked him what he'd do with the money (£ hundreds of thousands)if it turned out to be real.

His plan, despite the poverty all around is to 'rehang his church bells'.

Good to know he's got his priorities right.

It's his money why can't he spend it how he likes? Do you give all your wealth to the poor?

And if the painting belongs to the church surely spending it on the church is the right thing to do? I'm sure the church donate alto to charity anyway.

So if you win the lottery I can expect you to sort all the potholes my local council can't afford to fix or maybe start several youth projects to help prepare teenagers for a long and industrious adult life!

No question it's his picture and his money to spend as he wishes. It just doesn't seem a very xtian (assuming he is) thing to do.

It's not like he is buying cocaine and strippers is it. He is paying for the upkeep of his church so that his parishioners can keep enjoying using the church.

He's rehanging his bells. As you may have realised, I have no truck with people of faith but, if his building were falling down, that'd be one thing - but rehanging bells????????

So your whole thread isn't about how this guy is spending his money , its about the church in general?

I have to say, it didn't look like a Van Dyke to me. At best, a very poor "Van Dyke school".

Wow you think small don't you! A church is regularly used for weddings brides like the bells to ring and often charge extra for it I know investment in generating income isn't huge in Jocko land but surely you can push yourself to see the bigger picture.

Even if he spent it on cocaine and strippers it'd still be his choice...good for him I say! Everyone should do what makes them happy!

Quite the opposite capital investment in Jocko land is down right now as many companies are unsure what the future is bringing.
