The Church of England is to offer a speed-dating service to help lapsed worshippers find the church of their dreams.
Representatives of 10 churches will meet potential converts in a hotel lounge. They will have five minutes with each of them, one to one, to try to sell them their particular place of worship and brand of Christianity.
The event is aimed at young people toying with returning to church but too busy to find one that suits them.
The Bishop of Swindon, the Rt Rev Lee Rayfield, will launch the experiment, involving 30 people representing 10 churches in the town. A range of denominations will be represented, including Anglican, Methodist and Baptist. The bishop said the event would give people "a chance to see if there is any chemistry between them and a church". The Telegraph
