Politics and Religion
Apr. 3rd, 2008 07:58 pmI've just been reading Stephen Cottrell's book From the abundance of the heart: Catholic Evangelism for all Christians which is a good read.
I was amused this even though to be visited by a Plaid member who described a visit to a member in an area where the branch is not really functioning despite having members on the books. He'd asked this lady why she wasn't more involved and she responded because of having two young children, she couldn't do evening meetings. He suggested maybe a garden party for socialising and discussing nursery education. This is exactly one of the strategies suggested in Stephen Cottrell's book.
