Has Andrew Lloyd Webber Lost The Plot?

[naomi24]

Andrew Lloyd Webber has said churches across the country should be fitted with Wi-Fi in a bid to make them a more integral part of the community. He said ''I want to get every church in the country on Wi-Fi. 'Once you do that, the church becomes the centre of the community again. They should go back to the medieval traditions, which is that the nave of the church is always used for local businesses.“

Asked who would fund the project, he said: ''Well, I am going to get involved, but the Government have indicated that they would pay for the idea of putting the Wi-Fi in.''

I can't imagine many businesses in this day and age taking advantage of the facility. He’s lost me.

With regard to the absence of pews, there are no pews in Russian churches; everybody stands, and services are typically 2 - 3 hours long.

I don't see how it would attract young people back - what's the attraction for them, other than they can check their Facebook during the service? I don't get it.


I dunno, boxy...imagine the excitement whilst looking at their Facebook!

I think it's a good idea. Any way to reach your community and help can't be wrong. My church helps anyone whatever belief they have or don't have.
It's not all about filling pews. Our church has all kinds of outreach projects.
Jesus didn't just worship in the synagogues he went out on to the streets to seek those who needed help.
