After my regular church, I shot off across town to return to competitors CLC, where I was expecting another service, but instead found a nativity/pantomime!
And it was barking. The story was set after Jesus birth, and based around Herod's extermination of all the children aged under two around Bethlehem. A harrowing subject, yet handled with Benny Hill music and clumsy Roman guards chasing Mary and Joseph as they toss Jesus back and forth like a rugby ball! The rest of the audience didn't seem to mind the slightly uncomfortable juxtaposition of multiple-infanticide with slapstick, so I figured I'd better not mind either. What was my adopting the opposite attitude going to do for anyone?
