From the "You Can't Make This Stuff Up" Department-
An Anglican bishop has taken a leaf out of illusionist David Blaine's book by sealing himself in a glass display.
The Bishop of Middleton, the Rt Rev Mark Davies, said prayers for an hour in a window display at Nexus Art Cafe in Manchester city centre.
The bishop is aiming to highlight to passers-by that there can be loneliness and isolation in urban areas.
The exhibition is part of a 40-day event organised by Sanctus1, a city centre Christian community.
Leader of the group, Rev Ben Edson, said the project was intended to remind people of Lent and the anonymity of a busy city life.
