JOHANNESBURG - South African churchgoers were treated to a realistic "fire and brimstone" service yesterday when their Calvinist theologian accidentally set off a canister of teargas.
Mr Dominee Ferdi Gouws was expanding on the seriousness of sin during the children's service and using aerosol sprays as props when he released the teargas, state radio reported. The congregation rushed coughing and sneezing from the pews.
