Church Poster of the Year

(Picture for illustration purposes only: See a version that you can see here)

The Congregational Insurance company is running a competition to find the best church notice board poster, reports the Guardian. Entrants can send in their entries by post, e-mail or the modern mobile picture telephone text messaging. If you win you get £500 but you have to put it into the church collection.

My own opinion is that corny slogans are generally corny and give the wrong impression. Or the right impression, depending. As a result I will not be drawing attention to this competition.

Thanks to the Churchblogger for spotting this.

    One of my favourite church slogans has to be “Faith – it’s not just a shoe shop!”
    Utterly mystifying.
    I think the signboard thing is a bit of a problem. If someone’s bitter and cynical enough then even if you’ve got something beautifully pithy that is bound to make any agnostic fall on his/her knees and accept the Lord, they can still find something to sneer at. when I first became a Christian I did like the “Christianity: not a religion, more a relationship” and I could see that might make some people think, but it’s also responsible for mind-numbing internet arguments… In the sense that there are some things we believe involving God and morality, and we have certain practices, festivals and rituals, then yes, I guess you could call it a religion.

    The way I’ve always looked at it (well, the way I’ve come to look it … OK, the thing that has just occurred to me) is that a living faith or relationship with God reverts to ‘religion’ with all its negative connotations when all the practices, festivals and rituals become more important than God himself. Or maybe even become gods themselves.
    Crikey that’s deep – I need to go and have some tea.
