A vicar has sparked controversy among his congregation by charging people £10 to watch controversial Monty Python film The Life of Brian in church.

Father Christopher Wilson has also agreed to stage a concert called "Music You Don't Normally Hear On A Church Organ" in a bid to raise funds for repairs.

Fr Wilson said showing The Life of Brian - branded blasphemous and anti-Christian when it was released in 1979 - is an attempt for the church to "laugh at ourselves".
