Our brothers and sisters on the eastern side of The Pond just got a new curate at one of their churches.

A full report on Rev. Skye Denno, from The Daily Mail:

Some days she strides up to church wearing hot pants and biker boots.

Or she might opt for dominatrix-style red leather high heels to go with her six piercings including a nose stud.

Not the apparel you would normally expect from a Church of England curate.

But punk rocker Skye Denno insists it is her way of serving God.

Miss Denno, 29, who admits to a taste for lager and the Sex Pistols, is two weeks into her appointment as curate at the Church of St James the Great in Dursley, Gloucestershire.

‘It’s been great,’ she said. ‘My clothes and how I look haven’t been a problem.

‘I think it makes me more approachable and I haven’t heard any grumbles. At the most people have been a little surprised.

‘I did walk down the street in biker boots, hot pants and dog collar and got a few looks. I don’t do it to be difficult – it’s just me.

‘The Church can be quite cliquey and it’s important for me to keep it real and not be another stuffy, middle-class vicar.’

Miss Denno moved to the town with her partner Joel and their two young children last month to take up her new role.
