Day 156 Class System & Outreach Part I.

I walked for a hour to Mission Year training and heard a great talk about the churches role in reaching out to the white English working class. Apparently 98% of the churchgoers in England are middle class. I could just identify with so many things, even though I am a foreigner and in Hungary middle class has been almost wiped out by communism. I remembered Rachel telling me about her heart being broken for East Enders to whom there is no outreach in the church. I was fascinated by the historical background of working class and thought about my time in Berkshire before we joined the EU. How I picked up the middle class pronunciation and how I was mocked because of it at work in London, where it quickly became my very own, a mix of everything.
