Joe, that reminds me of something that happened on the borders of Kent and Sussex in the local Anglican parish. New priest moves in, mounts the pulpit, surveys the serried ranks of retired locals, and announces "I don't want a church that is full of old people." The next week, the adjoining parishes were astonished to find their congregations enlarged, and he didn't have a church full of many people at all.
