Mystery Worshipper / Church of England

Bells and smells, beautiful music, appropriate hymns, plus delicious coffee and cake

Farewell to the organist in a full and friendly church on Pentecost Sunday

A warm welcome, and the eucharist celebrated with deep faith, on a very cold Sunday morning

Toddler attempts to climb the pulpit during a traditional High Mass

Greeted with hymn books, smiles, and a 5-10 minute peace

A full-throated organ and cherubs in the ceiling on Remembrance Sunday

Marking the death of Queen Elizabeth with a bland sermon and some unexpectedly aggressive intercessions.

A warm welcome, but a bit of a struggle to get into a Georgian box pew

In a seaside holiday town, sharing the joy of a congregation with their newly priested curate

Uplifting music for the ear, although the post-service organ music was endless

A real sense of both worship and community
