MEMBERS of his flock are almost certainly wishing the Rev David Parsons, formerly Minister of Stratton Green Baptist Church, success in his new role as an inventor

Mr Parsons, who isn't giving up his dog collar and now has a church in Dartford, Kent, intends spending some of the hoped-for proceeds from his high tech cordless MultiLight lamp to support Christianity.

We hope he quickly finds a manufacturer to produce it.

In this age when fewer people regularly spend their Sunday mornings listening to sermons the angels can possibly do with some practical help.
