On Sundays, Pastor Tony Spell does not address the scant pews of his congregation as Dearly Beloved , nor does he invite them to turn to No 127 in their hymn books.
Instead, he prowls the stage around his pulpit with a Bible held aloft, shrieking into a microphone the size of a baseball bat, while men and women in the church roll their eyes, contort their bodies and speak in tongues.
It s an evangelical sales pitch that morphs into a heavy metal concert. Pastor Spell grunts and screams while a chorus of berobed women sing harmonies as though Ozzy Osbourne had replaced Diana Ross in The Supremes.

The grim milestone was passed last week, WHO Regional Director for Europe Hans Kluge said in a press conference.
Kluge warned that despite the progress of the European vaccine rollout the situation in the region remained serious.
