Mystery Worshipper / Church of England

Visiting a beloved 12th century village church for a service of inclusive language worship

Confident worship, hashtagged sermon, good filter coffee, and a refreshing welcome

A floating sculpture of Christ distracts at a service marking 75 years of priestly ministry

Among the pilgrims (plus a 4 metre puppet) at the martyr’s shrine on Alban Day

Singing hymns to a recording of the church organ, with jackdaws singing along in the roof

A wonderful welcome, and a sermon so meaty it could have been turned into a Lent course

Ascension Day service with a beautifully constructed sermon and a eucharist of quiet intimacy

Rose-coloured vestments, a fine sermon, and a crying baby on Mothering Sunday in Chelsea

Circling the altar for communion in a welcoming, inclusive, accessible church in the heart of London

A friendly welcome, coffee in a china mug, and a forgettable 6-minute sermon

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