I don't think I could like anyone who didn't love Alex Campbell. (Leaving aside those who never met him.)
I remember in a room over a pub, a tiny gig, but that was never a reason for Alex to put any less dedication into it - and Alex decided he was going to get each person around the room to come up with a song and sing it. And he did it too. Including Away in a Manger.
Personally I'd have been inclined to put that minister in the grave, and take Alex in his coffin along to the pub.
