adopt-a-pagan

Posted on by wonderfulexchange

I got interrupted in a conversation today just as I heard someone say ‘but all my friends are Christian’.

Clearly I have been getting this business of outreach all wrong. We need to go right back to basics. If all your friends are Christians, it’s time to find new friends. Adopt a pagan. Befriend an atheist. Spend time with someone who radically disagrees with you.

You have about 92% of the population to choose from, after all.  (OK– that’s based on actual church attendance, but even the most generous estimates of Christian allegiance in Britain leave you will a full 24% of the population from which to find new friends.)

  1. Kimberley,

    You are asking to impossible as far as you are concerned. No one, and I do mean no one, could ever radically disagree with you.
