Fortunately, it seems however rough things may get for Charles, he won't be walking away from his duty to the Church for the foreseeable future.

"There have been times when he's wanted to bring out the 'old Charles'. But I wouldn't want him to get rid of the dog collar, as he loves his job helping people. Vicars don't get an easy ride, not in this village anyway!"
