Lawrence Edmonds a young man from Yorkshire was challenged by his mate to lick every Anglican cathedral in the UK. That's 64 cathedrals. You can follow his journey on Twitter.
I have to admit that this is a bizarre and unhygienic past time is a fantastic way to get to see the wonderful architectural, artistic and theological sights of the UK.
Lawerence is documenting his travels as he attends the 42 cathedrals in England, the 8 in Scotland, 8 in Northern Ireland and 6 in Wales.
In an age where the positive exposure of Christianity in the media is seldom frequent, it is fantastic to see a revitalised view of some of the nation's oldest and finest buildings. If you are interested in reading Theology at University, or indeed if not, don't be afraid to take up Mr Edmonds' example although not necessarily the licking of, but definitely the visiting and appreciating of the UK's cathedrals. Good luck to him as he strives towards his deadline of the 16th December this year.
