When God sent the ten plagues upon the recalcitrant Egyptians for refusing to release their guest workers from slavery, I'd always learnt that it started with blood (by the way, did you know that Al Gore runs a green speculation outfit with a fellow called David Blood?) and ended with the death of the firstborn.
But not according to that bastion of the bishopric in Hong Kong, St. John's Cathedral. Plastered all over the walls of their recently air-conditioned head edifice has appeared a poster promoting a Sunday School musical called Let My People Go!, which refers inter alia to Moses, Burning Bush (the bit of scrub in Jerusalem, not the erstwhile POTUS, methinks) and "Plaques".
Performances, presumably sponsored by Colgate or Darkie Toothpaste, will be given at this Saturday's Michaelmas Fair for anyone who's in the vicinity.
Next up the Christmas Carol Concert and a rendition by the tots of "While Shepherds Flossed Their Whatsits by Night"? Need to catch them young, you know.
