That sounds rather like the churchwarden, who regularly read at Morning 
Prayer, who told the incumbent that the lessons should be the original 
text.  The incumbent agreed and the next Sunday suggested that the 
churchwarden might like to look at the text before the sercice.  "No 
need" was the response.

The vicar insisted he would prefer the warden to comply, so this was 
reluctantly acceded to.  The point was made.
