Sometimes clerics speak with forked tongue on that score. My great grandfather was a Tory councillor on the old London County Council whilst rector of St. George the Martyr in Southwark during the first world war. He was approached one day by one of his parishioners who was a staunch Liberal to ask if, political differences aside, he'd be prepared to officiate at his funeral when the time came. "My dear fellow" he told him "Fear not. I'm always delighted to bury a Liberal".

Oh, and JTL, I loved the TUC version of the 23rd psalm rofl
