Church donates £5,000 to Welsh Jedi church

Charlotte Church has reportedly donated £5,000 to a Star Wars-themed church in Wales.

Two brothers, Barney and Daniel Jones from Anglesey, asked the singer for the cash to help complete their plans for a Church of the Jedi on the island.

Barney told the Daily Star: "As children we always watched the Star Wars films. And we noticed that there were a couple of sites on the internet, Jedi Church sites.

"Now we can’t wait to make a UK church where like-minded people can worship. My brother and I will wear the Jedi robes - the dark brown ones. The congregation will be in black, to bring a sense of unity to the meetings.

"The services will include sermons on The Force, light saber training, and meditation techniques."

Church's partner Gavin Henson was reportedly unsure about the investment initially but is now backing his girlfriend's decision.

A source commented: "To begin with, he was a bit baffled. But there’s no point in him stopping her. He can’t win.

"He’s amused by her eccentric decision and is behind her all the way. Barney and Daniel are determined to make her money go as far as possible. And they are eternally grateful to her for funding their dream."
