Friendliness needs to be taught, but many Christians have never learnt how to reach out to people. My Dad was in the Foreign Office, representing Her Majesty’s Government around the world. He had to host posh cocktail parties to fly the flag and develop friendships between governments. I learned that a good host welcomes their guests, hangs up their coats, gets them a drink and introduces them to a few people to ensure they are settled and able to handle the rest of the evening. Too often in our meetings we leave new people to make their own way. Our fear and embarrassment can be received as rudeness. How rude it is to leave a new person on their own when everyone is talking around them. If we are not careful our meetings will be a poor advertisement for a friendly God. Let’s start by teaching our people about considering others before our own needs.
