Yup, there's no doubt that Colin is a big reason the church is closing. Mom and Dad have decided they'll probably drive 15 minutes to Blyth rather than the 3 minutes to Colin's charge in Wingham.
Someone should really tell the regional leadership that he's spectacularly unsuited. He used to sell tools to my grandfather and uncles, and couldn't even be bothered to give mom his sympathies when her brothers died. He didn't speak to her when Dad had a triple bypass either.
He just wants an audience, none of the actual pastoral care involved with a congregation.
