A Straw in the Wind

I am still doing baptism preparation in the church. I will be doing this until I die at the rate things are going. My mother used to always say that it’s very difficult to get off a committee and she never said a truer word.

Anyway, we had this young couple in and they asked me to help them fill in the form, so we went through it together. There’s a bit where it asks whether the announcement of the baptism can be put up on the church’s facebook page (somehow given the demographics of the congregation, it’s bound to be facebook). “Does that mean that the baby’s name will be on Google?” asked the father. “Well, yes,” I said. “Then no, no Google.” Interesting.
