“                          Linked to this was the hospitality, generosity and



                                   service of Christians (38%). Be it toddler groups,
                                   invitations into people’s homes, or simply people

                                   those actions matter. The youngest adults (who
        It was absolutely
                                   were among the most sceptical of Christians)
        terrifying. I think I      remembering their name from week to week,
        remember my first          tended to be particularly impacted by authentic
        Sunday. So I’d taken       faith in action. One woman was struck that people
        my mum with me             had looked at her rather than their phones! It’s
        the first few times,       clear that genuine interest and sincere kindness go
        but then she didn’t        a long way.
        really want to come
        anymore, so I said
        I would start going
        by myself. But I
        remember the first
        Sunday... during
        the sermon I was
        getting so panicky
        and it was just such
        an overwhelming
        situation. Not only
        socially, but also
        just knowing that I
        was in a room full of
        people who believed
        that Jesus was God
        was wild.”
