Church Search II

As I said below, we have started looking at churches outside our town in the neighbourhood district.

One caught our eye. About 10 miles away. Same name as our old church. Also an anglican church.

Many church websites are either slick moving things where they have spent a a fortune on style - possibly at the expense of substance. Others have a simple drawng or photo of the church with a few one-liners about the list of activities. THis one seemed to strike the balance.

It had a photo of the church - ie a photo of all the people in it (now the Baptist church we slagged off below had also done this, but this one was much more upbeat, somehow). It had a photo of the new church hall - in the background with a lrge group of people in the middle. It had a very long page dedicated to the youth and children's work, with a detailed analysis of the philosophies and mission statements of each group, ie WHY it was there, and the reason was usually service and outreach.

We felt that this web site was pitched at the level we would hope for.

Now clearly, there is a big differecne between the website and the church itself, and so in the new year we will visit and see. Watch this space!
