Adjusting to being at Spring Harvest

The odd thing about a large Christian conference is that you never quite adjust to being around so many people that you think share your point of view! I find the whole thing a slightly strange experience. Do you think Christians behave differently when they are at an event like Spring Harvest? They must do, they buy books like they’re going out of fashion for one thing. I wonder how much of Wesley Owen’s annual turnover comes through Spring Harvest?

Events like this have their flaws, but they have good points too. For a smaller church like ours, mixing with such a large group of fellow believers is a bit of a release. 

From where I am currently sitting I can watch people as they wander through the main centre-point of the site. Some look lost, others look distinctly found, if you know what I mean. You get the feeling that this may be the only place in the whole world where it’s actually more cool to be a Christian than it is to not be one.
