Indeed, this was pretty cool to see.

The comment I made on facebook (and copied from Therion Arms) is, shouldn't clerics be restricted to blunt weapons? :)

Given the chaos in today's world I am surprised that he wasn't arrested or fined for even bringing the sword outside  ;)

What I can say is that is one piece of news that has put a big smile on my face.  ;D

It would be awesome if the cleric used a longsword instead of a katana.   ;)
