Christians do Good Copy

This weekend I went to see my nephew get christened and become his godfather. During the service, being an atheist, I was actually paying a lot of attention to the words of the prayers and hymns, and noticed that some of them are absolute masterclasses in rhetoric, using the same devices as politicians and orators have used for centuries.

I typed out one of the prayers and annotated it - click here to view the document in google docs (you don't need an account).
