Normally I avoid discussions about making a parish more 'welcoming.' This due to the fact that the discussion inevitably follows the same pattern. Someone trots out a list of half-baked token gestures which, in the past, have proved ineffective at best and counter productive at worst. The parish select a few of these they feel capable of, and don't cost much in terms of time or money. Several of the more well meaning parishioners proceed to carry out these plans for a short time.
