Extreme Shepherding

[With apologies to animal lovers everywhere. No sheep were harmed in the making of this video. Several were undoubtedly embarrassed, however.]

A member of a Commission on Ministry in an Episcopal diocese passed this along to Episcopopcorn. In the church, it appears, shepherding the flock is often quite like this video. Our Episcopopcorner COM member writes, "It seems that COM Shepherds are not the only shepherds who do not hide their lights under bushels." Just picture your Vergers at work at the last candle-light vigil.
