"Villagers have made an online pitch in order to attract a new vicar to their parish. The video has become an unexpected YouTube sensation, notching up nearly 9,000 views on the site. The parish has two busy churches - St Andrew&amp;#039;s in Bicknacre and St Mary&amp;#039;s in Woodham Ferrers - that have been without a vicar for 16 months. Now the parishioners are taking matters into their own hands by making the homemade video, featuring a cardboard cut-out vicar, that demonstrates where the new clergyman will fit in. The villagers decided that they had no option but to carry out the search themselves after they had not received any applications for a whole year.  The position is for a &amp;quot;house for duty&amp;quot; associate minister who would not get paid but would be given use of a four-bedroomed detached church house in return for working two days a week, plus Sundays. &amp;gt; Hotel replaces Bibles with &amp;#039;Fifty Shades of Grey&amp;#039; copies &amp;gt; York Minster gets new carpet made of grass Only five people have downloaded an application form for the job, and nobody has formally applied for it yet.
