    O dear. I'm afraid that if I had been asked so abruptly to change seats, I would have indeed moved - out of the church, and as far away as possible from such an unwelcoming place.

    Why do so many churches fail so dismally in this respect? I know that some people prefer a quiet, unobtrusive, welcome, but there is no excuse for plain rudeness.

    This was 10 years ago. Maybe things are different now

    True. Yes, I hope so, too.

    There's also no indication that it was anyone official - unfortunately, rude members of the congregation happen to even the friendliest churches.

    I actually attended St Giles around 10 years ago, and I found it to be very friendly and welcoming. This happened in August so it's likely that a lot of people from eg the welcome team were on holiday. No excuse of course, but I'm also wondering why the Mystery Worshipper didn't ask anyone if they could help her.
