Christians really ought not be competitive, jealous, proud or obsessed with numbers. So with no hint of any of these, I note that the great
Facebook revolution has hit Oadby with mixed results. Only
Oadby Baptist Church (32 members) and
St Paul's (33 members!) appear to have a Facebook group. What about the rest? Still, both of us fall short of the Grange Farm Appreciation Society (91 members).
I was delighted to compare the membership policies of the two church groups - while we have a "walk through the door and we count you in" approach, our good friends at OBC have an approved membership list. Ecclesiological differences run deep, don't they?
