A "Mystery Worshipper"


On Good Friday we had a special visitor with us -  a writer for the UK website "Ship of Fools - a magazine of Christian Unrest."  

The website is really quite good, insightful and interesting. 

One of their columns is called the  "Mystery Worshipper," and contains articles on various churches of all denominations worldwide.  

The Mystery Worshippers are their volunteers who visit churches, leaving a calling card in the collection plate and posting a first-timers impression of services on Ship of Fools.  

You guessed it - our visitor was a Mystery Worshipper, and has posted his article on Ship of Fools.  It's a delightful account of his impressions, and they  are, for the most part, fabulous.  

His name?  Amanda B. Reckondwythe.  Read the name aloud and slowly, and enjoy his article, found here !  

And yes, he took the above picture during his visit - great photographer, too, eh!
