If you can take 30 minutes of business and force it into a two hour meeting...
If you can announce the exciting coach outing to Hereford and show no shame...
If you can drink weak tea and thank the providers for their tremendous hospitality...
If you can praise the musicianship of the wobbly soprano choir...
If you can dress appropriately for a hall that will be too hot or too cold but never just right...
If you can know that content is nothing; finishing on time is all...
If you can thank the guest for his insight when he brought none...
If you can thank the speaker for her passion when she was limp...
If you can handle all sorts of microphones and treat them each as nought...
If you can see beyond the dust and grime of old churches...
If you can see men, if only in your mind's eye...
If you can liase with bishops and wardens...
Then you'll be a Rural Dean my son. Good luck to you.

Will forward to my brother-in-law who is a Rural Dean!
I like it.
Mind you I'd never make the cut. Couldn't do the coach tour one at all
