Has St. Paul’s lost the plot?

Posted in Church, Media, News on November 2, 2011 | Leave a Comment »

I thought Simon Jenkins blog post on St Paul’s loses the plot was fantastic.  One of the best Christians views on the mess that St. Paul’s has got itself into: St Paul’s has lost the plot.

Facebook is growing massively.  In August they signed up their 100 millionth user.  It has gone from 100 million to 200 million in less than 8 months.  For anyone to get 100% growth in only a few months is pretty good, but do that when you’re talking millions is seriously amazing.
