hell yes! tax the graveyards as commercial land, give gordon his slice of the collections, he needs it more than most! the church could easily make up the money from bumping up the rent on their tennant farmers, they are rolling in it.. or they could sell advertising space on war memorial, or do sponsored hymms or prayers, 'give us, this day, or daily bread, freshly baked in store...etc' . rather than having diocese and parish, the whole thing could be set up as a franchise, with vicars bidding to get a contract for a parish,they could have ley preachers covering out of hours work, could be a real money spinner.
or not!
