Rate Your Priest?

Interesting. From the Telegraph:
Priests rated on new website
German churchgoers are to be given the opportunity to rate the performance of their priests and post reviews on a new website.

The Hirtenbarometer, or 'shepherd' barometer in English, gives people the chance to post lavish praise or withering criticism about their local preacher or senior church members in complete anonymity.

The website also allows parishioners to rate the performance of clerics by judging such attributes as "standard of religious service", "work with young people" and "credibility". The average scores are represented by a sheep's colour with those with good scores getting a white sheep while those with indifferent or poor ratings getting a grey or black sheep.
