A VICAR reportedly kicked a yoga class out from a church hall in Sheffield due to it being an offence to Christianity.
This is not the first time such an accusation has been levelled at this distinctly inoffensive activity. Last year a yoga teacher was banned from using a church hall in Barnstaple, Devon, after the local Church told her yoga was not compatible with Christian beliefs. I always believed that Christianity was based on a ‘live and let live’ mindset. Obviously not. It is things like this that make me glad to be an atheist.
