To my mind there is something really horrible about visiting a church and no one speaks to you. It feels even worse if you are on your own. I have been to services where people will speak during the passing of the peace and then ignore you after the benediction. What's that all about?
Where, oh where did we get this idea that visitors to a church don't want to be spoken to? As a post modern generation are we not supposed to be about relationships, story and authenticity?
This is really a pet peeve of mine, I could say (rant) so much more, but I will spare ya'll my traumas.
Thankfully, my own church is welcoming and friendly.

when grain and wine abound.Ps 4:7, Sing Psalms 2003
