. . . because HUM-ily didn't roll off the tongue as easily.


Church swaps hymns for rock music

A Lincolnshire church is to host what is thought to be England's first Holy Communion using rock music.

The "U2-charist", which uses hits from the Irish rock group in place of hymns in the service, is being held at Lincoln's St Swithin's Church in May.

A live band will play the U2 songs, including Mysterious Ways and Beautiful Day, as worshippers sing along with lyrics which will appear on a screen at the Church of England building.
