Profpauli: Mark E Smith: Lay Preacher and singer.

'''Mark E Smith''' is a lay preacher and musician from Salford, near Manchester, England. Born 5th March 1957. He has campaigned against the misrepresentation of religion and deviation from the true path since the mid 1970's. His folk band, "The Fall" was named after the novel by Camus. His songs include the following:
"Hip Priest" - A put-down of "trendy" christianity. Somewhat self-mocking since M.E.Smith is known for his dapper appearance.
"Oh Brother" - about the power of family to ward off unholy external pressures:
Oh! little brother
We are in a mess
Don't look at me that way
Don't put me to the test
When I first saw you
People said:
He scrutinised a little monster;
And disappeared through red door
Now everyone is disinformation
Disinformation
Disinformation
He says:
Won't you give me one more chance?
I'm not a communist

"Hex Induction Hour" - Condems the BBC documentary "Holy day" in which a Satanist group were allowed to appear.
"Impression of J Temperence" - in praise of the Temperence movement.
"Terry Waite Sez[sic]" - scorns the former Anglican Special Envoy for profiteering from telling his story of his years of captivity in the Lebanon.

On heathland close to Woking, Brookwood Cemetery (at 2,000 acres the largest cemetery in Britain) was opened in 1854 as the London Necropolis. It was served by rail from London (there was a Necropolis Station adjacent to the capital's Waterloo Station); one of the funeral railway stations in the cemetery has been converted into a [[Greek Orthodox]] church<ref>http://www.brookwoodcemetery.com/</ref><ref>http://www.tbcs.org.uk/history.htm</ref>.
