Church search

How the CofE can learn from the Methodists

On the new ‘theConnexion.net‘ website the Methodist bloggers are asking each other how their national church website is doing. So, how is it doing?

Well, in one particular measure very well indeed. If you do a Google Search for ‘church’ you find The Methodist Church of Great Britain in the No 1 spot. Well, at least, I do. Your version of Google may not, depending upon where you live.

Other residents of the first page are the Episcopal church in the USA, the Church of Scotland, the Church in Wales and the United Reformed Church. But where is the Church of England? Not on page one. Nor page two. No, it’s on page three, just ahead of the Inflatable church, Charlotte Church and the Church of Fools. Oh, and the Vatican.

We obviously have a lot to learn from the Methodists.

    Maybe it’s because the CofE isn’t the “true” church. Then again it maybe that the others are more popular with the internet public.

    I have conducted a very scientific exercise. There are 244,000 references to church of satan on Google, 1.82m to Methodist Church & 1.28m to Baptist Church & 5.2m references to Church of England. This is searching UK sites only.

    Therefore, I conclude that the CofE is more popular than Satan, Methodists and Baptists.

    Future Methodist Website

    So everyone else is pointing to the breakthrough at theConnexion.net where the Methodist Church is officially asking us to provide input on updating the site. Dave kindly points out in Church search � The Cartoon Blog by Dave Walker that
