I was in a cafe and in a corner with the other local resources and brochures was a box with “Please Take One” on it. In the box were prayers on cards – taken from A New Zealand Prayer Book He Karakia Miginare o Aotearoa’. Nothing pushy – there was the Anglican Cross; a sort of church logo. The prayers were positive and gave a positive impression of Christianity.
Imagine boxes like this in cafés that were willing to have them. With some information on the back – a simple URL to an attractive (national church) website with well-made short videos outlining beliefs and practices, local contact information where one could safely turn for help…
What are your ideas? What prayers or inspiring quotes would you suggest?
