The bishop’s car ran out of petrol, but much to his relief his wife remembered passing a garage half a mile back down the road. He searched the boot for a container, but he could only find his baby grandson’s potty, so it had to do! He trudged to the petrol station, then back with a full container.
The leader of a new church, driving by, recognised a fellow Christian in need and stopped his car to offer help. As he approached he saw the bishop pour the contents of the potty into the tank. The man gasped: ‘If I’d known they had faith like that in the Church of England I’d never have left!’
