I pastored in the Church of God for almost thirty years before 'coming hime' to the Episcopal Church, and now Anglican. My dream was to build a church facility with pews on a double chain. Everyone could then be seated on the back pew...but as soon as it was filled, it would move to the front and another one take it's place. Still a rather good idea, I think...one of these days...

Didn't work.

It was only when I was made senior warden that I realized that that is where the leadership sits and so I moved to the front row and no one has ever bothered me again.

I preached at that church recently and seriously concerned that there was no-one in the back row. Appreciate your ideas Dave, and love the calender.

We went along to the Anglican Cathedral in Toronto whilst we were on holiday and sat about halfway down, and there were lots of spaces in front of us - wasn't until the communion that we realised quite how many people were sat down the back! Actually when we went on a Church outing to see Amazing Grace at the cinema everybody filled from the back too... It’s not just the Church of England where people fill from the back.

I sit at the back of church every week and there is no way we can get more than 2 people behind the AV console. What a terrible idea.
