‘Would you be interested in our events this week?’
I was offering an information flyer to passersby in the university hallway, a busy thoroughfare en route to lectures. Most students had taken one. Some even stopped to chat, asking ‘What’s this about?’ or having a go on the ‘Question Wheel’ – discussing purpose, identity or love over a free bowl of cereal or cup of coffee.
One girl looked like she was headed our way. As I cheerfully invited her to an upcoming event, she smiled, shaking her head slightly… ‘I’m actually part of the Christian Union!’ she said, handing her bag of milk and cereal refills to the CU member behind the table.
