Church Photo in Lieu of Attendance


St. Anne's Catholic Church, Holly Hill, S.C.

I may take a Sunday "Church Photo in Lieu of Attendance" but these folks do even better! They attend a service and write a report.

Mystery Worshiper

What is this?
Since ancient times (ok, 1998), Ship of Fools has been sending Mystery Worshipers to churches worldwide. Traveling incognito, they ask those questions which go to the heart of church life: How long was the sermon? How hard the pew? How cold was the coffee? How warm the welcome?

The only clue they have been there at all is the Mystery Worshiper calling card, dropped discreetly into the collection plate.


Their web site lists a directory of the churches and mystery worship reports. Neat idea!
