OK, well I was at church this morning (nothing uncommon about that) and had just finished up helping with the kids work (well clearing up and doing the usual chase round to find various people) when, totally out of the blue, I'm met by someone who works in the previous school I teach at. We didn't overlap in out teaching (I left at the end of one year, and he started the next), but with various supply and other days in, he was able to recognise me at church. He'd been a few times before, but was looking for one to really call a home church.
Anyway, it's made me wonder about whether it really is a small world. Many say that the Christian world (especially in the UK) is small, and that, within reason, you are likely to bump into other Christians you know more frequently at Christian events. However, is that true of most groupings of people.
As a teacher, at the end of term, for some reason teachers all tend to end up in the same series of pubs/bars. (Possibly to avoid the kids!)
So, do we all live in a small world, despite all the travel that is open to us, and if so, do we do it purposefully at some level as it's a comfort zone things.
Just a thought.
