A Polish priest reckons he's put his parishioners on a higher spiritual level - after opening a full-sized inflatable bouncy church. Father Krzystof Kowal came up with the idea after local planners in Kolobrzeg kept turning down his application to build a real church out of bricks and mortar. So he turned to friend Robert Wojcik whose company builds garden toys for children. "When Krzys told me about his problems I knew I would be able to help him. We build inflatable slides and pools but this was the first time we've had to build an inflatable church," he said. "I think we did OK, although it does look a bit like a bouncy castle." Father Krzystof added: "We have been holding mass in a rented hotel room or by a lake, so I decided to do it like this. "Now my congregation will have a place where they can come and pray."
