CROSS AT MAST BID
9 December 2006
A VICAR has sparked fury with a plan to ditch the cross on top of his church - for one holding a mobile phone mast.
Rev Todd Gile said the deal with phone giant 3 would bring in vital cash.
He said: "The church is in the business of worshipping God. This is a legitimate fundraiser to support the ministry.
"It won't be an eyesore and will look just like the existing cross."
But some locals in Peterlee, Co Durham, are outraged. Cllr Ted Hall said: "It's totally repugnant. The cross should remind people to speak to the Lord rather than phone their mother."
