Maybe it was optimistic to expect my last day before the Christmas Holiday to be quiet…
So far this morning:
- Last parcel from Amazon turns up having been damaged in transit – and probably no time to replace the damaged contents. Just waiting for Amazon to get back to me. Update: Just got an e-mail from Amazon – replacement items being despatched first class.
- After half a days worth of testing, we’ve found a trailing space in a bit of test data. Following a quick fix, as it is a fully validated system we have to go all the way back to the start of the tests and start again.
- Just had a call from one of my colleagues who should be on annual leave today. His team is doing an install in Cardiff and got to site to discover that they’d left the install CD that he’d put together for them at home.
- Had a moderation request from the Affirming Liberalism site – Peter Ould probably about as opposite in Anglican terms as you can get has linked to the site under the category “heresy” pairing it up with an unrelated video and a comment about growing liberal Churches seemingly implying that he doesn’t think there are any… Of course he’s most welcome to come along and visit St James – but he’d probably have trouble finding a seat, especially over the next couple of days.
USA 113 across 4 services? You and I both know that Christmas attendance isn’t an indication of church size or growth – that’s when all the heathen turn up.
Absolutely – but you don’t need to look at our Christmas attendance. You can come along most weeks and be struggling to find a seat. It’s a misnomer that it’s only certain kinds of Churches that are growing and others aren’t – I can show you examples of all sorts of Churches that are growing, and all sorts that are struggling.
