Female VICAR causes stir with obscene car sticker

A female CofE vicar yesterday insisted she has not sinned against God by putting an obscene bumper sticker reading 'WTFWJD' on the back of her car.

The Reverend Alice Goodman stuck the sticker, standing for ‘What The F*** Would Jesus Do?', on the back of her red Subaru Legacy - sparking outrage from members of her parish.

But the Reverend insists the sticker is harmless and even the former Archbishop of Canterbury Dr Rowan Williams was happy to accept a lift in her car in the past.

The sign - a play on the Christian motto ‘What Would Jesus Do?’ - has offended some of the worshippers in the Fulbourn and Wilbrahams parish in Cambridgeshire where Dr. Goodman is the rector.

But the American-born vicar, 54, claimed she was simply using an Old English word.

She said: 'F*** is not a blasphemy, it’s a vulgarity, an Old English word.

Tell me about the Subaru! I know about “comfortable shoes” lezbos, but never about their car choices.

Subaru’s long been a pro-gay company and for the longest time gays and lesbians bought Subarus because of it.

When my ex-wife showed up with a Subaru, my first words to her were "I had no idea you were a lesbian!"

Why do export our heretics and apostates when Britain already has their own?

Well, when you spend most of your time in NYC, you never learn about car choices!

True that. It’s one place you don’t actually need a car.

The question I was trained to ask myself was, ‘Whose needs am I serving?’

The reason I wore clericals was to stress my ‘office’, my sacramental persona above the wonder that is me.

the reason I have tried, with no success, to clean up my language, is that the more my tongue is mine, the more I can offer it to God.

This is lamentable pastoring. It follows from a bankrupt praxis generally.
