The Reverend of the church (of uncertain denomination) that seemingly every Christian in Springfield attends. His sermons vary between dreary recitations of the more opaque parts of the old testament, to the occasional "fire and brimstone" scaremongering about Hell - and very little of the love and joy that the Reverend's surname makes comment on. Bart and Homer, particularly, find it extremely difficult to pay attention during church.
Ned Flanders also constantly bothers Reverend Lovejoy for spiritual guidance, which the Reverend dispatches with as much brevity as he can manage, so that he can go back to what seems to be his true passion - his model trains.
