Tweet Sweet

“Churches are offering sweet temptation for returning worshippers, by giving out free chocolate in the hope it will lure them back into the pews”, a recent news briefing from Ekklesia says.

Gifts for newcomers on ‘Back to Church Sunday’ include a ‘goody bag’ with brochures featuring different aspects of church life – and a free bar of Traidcraft fair trade chocolate. Peter Collins, Traidcraft’s head of church relations said: “…it’s a gift that makes a difference for good.”

As long as the chocolates are not in the shape of the Pope, or in 12 packs of the apostles, I think this is a great idea. (You remember what we use to do to gummy bears or perhaps gingerbread men? Yeah, not such a good position for religious icons)
