more on the flash mob...
Monday, April 20, 2009
Theo Hobson has posted an interesting (but not entirely accurate!) observation about the Dream flash mob on the Guardian's 'Comment is Free' site, in which he states,
"This might sound like the trivial stunt of a few oddball God-botherers to you – I beg to differ. I think it the most significant bit of Christian culture I've come across in years. It's one of the first "alternative church" initiatives that has made me feel positive about this vague movement."
Sadly, some of the comments there are less than constructive so I added my own (under the user name 'foxile') - scroll down and contribute if you want! Read Hobson's post here.

Goodness me. Those are some fierce comments! I thought it was fab anyway - well done all those who joined in on the day & contributed to the debate!
