The choir finished their hymns, and were seated. That was when Father Henshall entered with two altar servers. Approaching the pulpit, he crossed himself and greeted the congregation. His voice carried well without shouting. All present knew what to expect, getting to their feet and opening their hy...

Father Henshall crossed himself again as the Changeling left, part of him relieved to see the back of the young woman. However, Tiffani’s appearance at the Church had unnerved him.

It won't cost you a cent." He clutched his bible closer to hi...

A stony look came over the priest's face and he visibly stiffened. Robert closed the church door firmly, it was definitely warmer inside, but only enough to keep the elements at bay and no more. "It would hardly be fitting if I allowed you to sleep in the church like some homeless urchin, would you ...

Saint Andrew was also the patron saint of farm workers, as well a number of other things, some quite esoteric, but it unlikely that it was his patronage of protection from sore throats that got this particular church named after him.
