...that's Community Outreach Worker. We hadn't noticed the unfortunate initials when the job title was agreed. Moooooooooooo!
Let's come back to the Alpha poster business (now that I've calmed down a bit!). Unfortunate, that. Incidentally, not only has someone ruined a poster but they've carved a tick into the metal-and-plastic sandwich board sign we keep outside the church during the day. The national Alpha office in its finite wisdom has come up with a poster campaign which invites vandalism. I mean, if you give people a tick list, they're going to tick it, right? The national website offers you the opportunity to register your tick electronically (currently 40% "yes", 27% "no", 33% "probably." You have to wonder if all the Christians are going on there and voting repeatedly to skew the stats.) On one level, the vandalism shows that people are reading the posters. On another level, it suggests to me an irritation with organised Christianity. People want to register their atheism. I know I did, back when atheism made a lot more sense to me than Christianity.
Please please please, can we have a poster with a cute cartoon next year???
