Blessing of the Animals: Link to story

Animals went were blessed by Rev. Cathy Cook, the pastor of "The Church Without Walls," yesterday, June 24, at the Catawba, NC, Animal Shelter. The story may seem very familiar to anyone who's watched the British sitcom, "The Vicar of Dibley," when Pastor Geraldine Granger blessed the animals inside the St. Barnabas Church in Dibley church, to the dismay of Parish Council stiffneck David Horton.

KET doesn't carry "The Vicar of Dibley," the second best British sit-com, (to "Last of the Summer Wine)" opting instead for the dud "Are You Being Served," and the show which could be loved were it not for the star character, "Keeping Up Appearances," and Jublileeing viewers to death. To read about the North Carolina blessing of the animals, "Animal blessings: Pet owners, shelter animals receive prayers from pastor", by Kim Gilliland, Monday, June 25, 2007, Hickory Record.
