When I was young, in our Anglican church we had a priest from Australia. I honestly thought that he said the word "ply" instead of "pray" in his sermons! I asked Mother if he was talking about plywood! She said, "no, he said pray!"
A childhood belief about church

others believed things like this
- I don't know why but when i was 5 i used to think the place where you kneel to pray was were kids sat.Anon
- When i was about 4 i used to think the birds of pray were called that because they preyed before they ate!— Alien 5247
- I used to think that the priest at church was JESUS.
He had a beard.... it made sense— Joe B - I used to believe that the priest was God because everytime a child cried, he wouldn't be talking.Anon
- I used to believe that at the end of the universe was a big plywood wall.— matt
- My fiance was in church as a kid and he saw the Vicar of the church and asked his Mum if it was God.— Andys fiancee
