Monthly column for youth leaders: bridging the generation gap

Have you ever tried to match people you know to characters from books or TV programmes? (Just me? Maybe I should get out more.)

Steve Couch

The staff team of my church contains good matches for Dad's Army's Captain Mainwaring, Air Raid Warden Hodges and Private Pike (who is probably reading this - Hi, Tim). Rather worryingly, the prevailing view casts me as Walker, the cockney spiv. We have a Corporal Jones in the congregation as well. One of our older and longer standing members, a godly man, consistently finishes prayers and liturgy just after everyone else. With longer prayers, he has been known to lag a whole line behind on occasions.
