Pointlessly personal and cruel.

This is actually a record of a fictional service in the TV comedy series *Rev*, although the church itself does exist IRL.

Granted, this is not clear from the MW Report!

I think you meant to link here, not to the honorific “the Reverend.”

And IRL, isn’t the church St Leonard's, Shoreditch, not St Saviour in the Marshes?

Thanks @Nick Tamen - I should have checked the link before posting.

Yes, it's St Leonard's, Shoreditch IRL, currently seeing something of a revival/renewal:

Dontcha just love it when someone comes in to criticise a twelve year old report on a fictional church from a TV sitcom
