Sunday, October 03, 2004 Witnessing part 1Well Carol, people get into the taxi and there are trips of different lengths, different types of people but a lot of them can talk about the weather to an enormous extent, (and to elederly women is seems to be so important).I usually ask about people's weekend, the one past and/or the one coming and tell theem that I go to church.

Here's and exercise: work out from your home, on a quiet Sunday morning, driving for 12 minutes, how many churches could you get to? I couldn't do it, I can't count that far. Yes, I live right in the 'bible belt' of the eastern suburbs of Melbourne. Michele lives in the less believing north-west, (you might argue with me on that one), how many could you get to? Are there not two churches in the same street? Why don't you unite? Why don't the 3 Anglican churches in Blackburn unite? Or the 3 in Box Hill, or the 2 in Doncaster East, or the 2 in Balwyn, or ...... Gary # posted by Anonymous @ 5:19 am 0 comments
