From the "You Can't Make This Stuff Up" Department- (and by the way, what is the "Open Episcopal Church?)
Mr Blake, an archbishop of the Open Episcopal Church, placed his children on top of his home and took pictures of them reading for a school project.
But worried neighbours called the police and Mr Blake, 52, was handcuffed before being taken away for questioning.
The pictures of his sons Nathan, eight, and Dominic, seven, were taken for a school book week competition themed on people reading in unusual places.
Mr Blake, a father of five, insisted the boys were used to rock climbing and adventure sports and were not worried by scaling the house in Welling, south east London.
He said the boys had climbed onto roof by clambering up onto a flat-roofed extension after he had attached them in a secure harness.
And he said the boys were already back in the house "full of excitement at what they had done", when police burst through the front door, marched upstairs and slapped him in handcuffs.
