Pulpit Clangers - 2

I briefly mentioned my experience at the church i visited this Easter. Aside from an hour and a half of tedium, there was one semi-amusing semi-awkard moment.

Selected children roamed around the auditorium distributing small easter eggs from wicker baskets. Once every adult had received an egg, the minister said:

If all of my helpers could come and see me after the service, then I can thank them in a special way.

Now i'm sure he meant just by giving them each an Easter egg - probably larger than those they were handing out. But i would have thought that if anyone ever writes the book "Things religious leaders should never say in this day and age", then such a phrase should be in chapter 1. Probably on the first page. :)
