For those that are collecting this range, you face the toughest challenge yet. That's because the pin is now sold-out. Before you wonder - you didn't miss it in the shops. The pin has been completely sold by LOCOG rather than being launched by Honav to the retailers like every other pin (apart from the Ticketing pins).
I'm not sure where or when we may see these pins, but given the subject matter, it's probably a good bet that they'll be distributed amongst religious organisations.
Anyone seen one around?
How long until we see them on eBay at inflated prices?
This is pin 1075 and at the moment I have no information on issue size.
Update 17/2: Issue size confirmed as 2,012 pieces.

lol another smack in the face for the collectors! so now you can buy 2009 pins about dogs, trees and teapots but dont think that spending £15,000 entitles you to be able to complete your collection, cos it doesnt!
Maybe if we are good and say our prayers we will get one.
OUR FATHER, WHO ART IN PIN HEAVEN,
HONAV BE THY NAME.

Say this before bed tonight and maybe the great GLAMOROUS Pin Fairy will find some.
Noel, you have far too much time !!
Excellent work, although I think this time it might be a pin-too-far for even the GLAMOUROUS Pin Fairy.
Very clever Noel, gave me a good laugh and brightened up my morning.
Superb.
Noel, absolutely brilliant!!
I love the line "Lead us not into temptation ....", although I can't help thinking that you may have had something specific in mind when you wrote this?
Hidden messages ? I don't know what you mean :) !
Glad to have helped put a smile on some of your faces...... It makes me laugh and I wrote it.
Now to finish translating all of the PIN JOHN'S Bible into PIN SPEAK.....

Keep The Faith !!!! (but share the Faith Pin !)
Noel,
Yes, I'm keeping the faith and I believe in miracles, too! When I posted the message above, the first anti-robot word I had to enter was "missionary"!!
Noel,
This really is uncanny, or I'm being sent spiritual messages on my faith! In making the post immediately above, I had to use the anti-robot word "Lord". If this happens again, then I really will believe.
The Lord does move in mysterious ways and I don't mean Lord Coe running either.... HALLELUJAH and PASS the PINBOARD..... Who said there is no such thing as the Glamorous Pin Fairy... she is working her magic as we speak.
Uncle Noel you are getting a bit keen these days.
Noel
Sorry to have to tell you, the Glamorous Pin Fairy's magic wand has failed to come up with the goods. She will not be passing out Faith pins. Maybe the Ebay Pin Fairy will have more luck.
Well maybe I will have a word with the Glamorous Pin Fairy's brother..... The PIN BOARD WIZARD... WHO ? ....... I think Tommy knows where he is !
Noel
I may be mistaken but isn't The Pin Board Wizard deaf, dumb and blind. Let me know which pin he sends you.
The Pin Board Wizard just notified me that he is still on the Hunt for The Faith Pin ... at this very time he is somewhere between Soho on his way down to Brighton to look in some amusement hall. If he can't sniff out the Faith Pin ... WHO else can ? After all they do say he has a MEAN PIN BOARD
