Church is full

I've been thinking some more about Church of Fools.

It's been an interesting fortnight since the experimental virtual church opened its doors. One clear issue is that there's not enough room. Pretty much any time of the day and night it's hit-and-miss whether there'll be space for you to get in. The church can only cope with so many virtual visitors, and if it's already reached the limit you're left outside.

Of course this is a mixed blessing. It's annoying to be left in the cold, but it also shows the church is a vastly popular idea.

But what can the organisers do?

Suddenly my mind is thrown back to cold, dark churches I've known up and down the country with their reserved family pews. I'm guessing CoF won't go this way, but it's an interesting contrast to the draughty, empty, echoing buildings you normally see such solutions in.
