A letter in this morning's Guardian recalls a nonconformist minister who, leading his congregation in prayer, began:-
Oh Lord, as though has doubtless read in last Thursday's Guardian...
Apocryphal, possibly, but it did remind me of the Welsh Methodist minister I knew who, also leading his flock in prayer, first thanked the Lord for his wisdom in sending both sun and rain and then added:- ... though there have been times these last weeks, O Lord, when we have been sorely tempted to doubt thy wisdom"

It's comforting to consider the Lord as a reader of the Guardian ....
