I always take the piss out of my pastor/church leader – mostly on Facebook. It’s a sign of affection with me though. What I like about him is that he doesn’t take himself too seriously and can laugh at himself. I think he gets teased quite a bit by his family, in a nice way – he has four daughters! He used to do theatre studies, so a wee bit camp at times, probably quite consciously.
