Occupy Your Local Church

This must be one of the greatest opportunities the Church has had for a very long time when it comes to engagement with the general public and bringing them through the doors of our buildings.

With slogans like:

"Want to Change our nation but don't like Camping - Occupy Your Local Church!"

"Think the Church should be standing against the Big Bonuses - OYLC"

where I am I am starting to engage people and use their anger against the perceived ills of the establishment to get them to think about what is happening and looking at ways to bring them in, hear their grievances and turn them into prayerful action. I am also going to see how I can bring our Credit Union in to the proceedings and see if there is potential to use this as a springboard sor social action and joined up responses for the UK, Europe and the World.

An opportunity that must not be allowed to be passed by (more tomorrow).

Tell your friends, colleagues, ministers (in fact, anyone who will listen) - let's be the difference!
