Having met on the website Christian Connection just over a year ago, the couple realised that Kirsty went to church where Bruce’s father is the pastor...“We’re going to live until we’re 106 together,” says Bruce Kissell, a care-support worker, and Kirsty Reilly, a fashion and print designer, “and we’ll be very cross if we don’t make it that far.”

The Times

Speed dating has evidently hit the spot with liberals in the church. One woman priest said: "It is difficult to meet eligible Christian men. I'm in a small parish where I am unlikely to find a partner, so I have signed up."

An internet agency for Christians has been bombarded with pleas for help. More than 100 priests and priests-in-training, some of them women, have joined Christian Connection in the past year. Unlike other dating services, Christian Connection asks members to write about their faith, their church and favourite Bible passages.

Getting to know someone in the Biblical sense has just got easier - all you need do is employ a quick flick of your mouse and exchange your favourite piece from the scriptures.
Thousands of single Christians are logging on to become part of a world wide flock where true love and romance could be just a web page away.
