A controversial catalogue of tips from vicars for achieving a better life has been uncovered by the British Newspaper Archive. They include advice to 'thrash drunks' and lie about your new wife's cooking skills from articles written at the turn of the last century.
The Bishop of Buckingham, the Rt Revd Alan Wilson, told Premier's News Hour why he thinks some of the advice makes sense:
