It beats rock music and hug fests and gyrations in the pews:

> Father Peter MacLeod-Miller, 43, keeps a donkey, lambs, goats and alpacas in a paddock at his rectory and takes them to the church in Barrow.

> Australian-born Father MacLeod-Miller said: "Animals are central figures in many Biblical stories. I just find they can help people relax and add interest."

> According to BBC online he added: "It's hard to doze off in church when there's a donkey standing in the aisle. People seem to like them."
