My church appears to be trying an experiment next Sunday (27th of Feb).

In the morning a family service is advertised with the special feature of doughnuts. It is also promised to be short, and have lots of puppet shows and dramas etc.

In the evening, writer and theologian Dr. Sam Storms will be coming to speak. For an idea of his emphasis, see my recent review of his book One Thing.

Both meetings have been widely advertised, so now with bated breath we await to see what has the greatest crowd-pulling effect – doughnuts or theologians. No prizes for guessing which one I’m looking forward to the most. Will there, I wonder, be any visitors who come to both, or is this the beginning of the polarisation of the church into the eaters and the thinkers?
