Another factor that varies with the church is whether the Sunday morning service is the main one. I’ve been to different Episcopalean churches where:

- the morning service is lightly attended, but the evening service is full
- the morning service and the evening service are both attended roughly equally
- the morning service is heavily attended and there were three people (including the minister) at the evening service

The one I’m proudest of is about neckties. One of our FAQ’s says “be comfortable”, which isn’t very specific and seems to be on every FAQ page I’ve read. I have added this to ours:

“If you are a gentleman who feels most comfortable when he looks like the rest of the guys, then navy blue Dockers and a dress shirt (no tie) will put you right in the middle of the crowd.”

which gives the satorily unsure a solid suggestion.

We’ll definitely take these comments into consideration when we rebuild our website.

Meanwhile, if your looking for an alternative to Cambridge – come visit us at the UU Church of Medford – only a couple of miles from Cambridge(about 80 people on a typical Sunday) :-)

Elizabeth–very nice and very helpful. Some of these things we have thought of, others not. Visitors pages seem to stress presence–or absence–of neckties, but not for example whether you are sitting in a small room with 175 people or a large auditorium with 75 (or 750). One thing we do that I think might be useful to prospective members is–streaming audio sermon library. Hear our ministers (and yes, their faces are on the page) before you visit… I know that this is catching on but could be a lot more commonly used…
