The Curious Incident of the Baptist Beer Barrel (and a Bottle of Whisky)

What might I find in the Church recycling bin?

An old sermon perhaps?  There'll have been a few of those that could be usefully composted I fear.  Some old hymnbooks?  No, you're wrong there.  Churches never throw out old hymnbooks.  Indeed, Christian newspapers contain baleful ads pleading with others to take ancient, useless hymnbooks into new ownership.  I assert you are more likely to find a collection of diamond jewellery in a recycling bin than a hymnbook. 

I suppose  in some churches there might be a weekly wine bottle from the Mass.  In a Baptist Church make that an old grape juice carton.

Yet if there is one thing nearly as unlikely as an old hymnbook in Baptist Church recycling it has to be what we found last week.  A barrel full of beer.  And a bottle full of whisky too!

What did we do?  What could we do?  What should we do?  How could such a thing happen?

We did exactly the same thing as we would have done if we had found old hymn books there.  Concluded it could not have been us, an enemy hath done this,  and called the Police.
