Ananova:

A church has been told it needs planning permission for a cross.

Minister Paul Nzacahayo was told he has to pay £75 for permission to erect a free-standing cross.

The local council says the payment is neccessary because the cross is an advert reports The Sun.

Speaking at Dudley Wood Methodist Church he said: "This is crazy. All my congregation and I want to sell is the word of the Gospel."
