Kenyan Church Name Generator
After months of research by both our intrepid field worker and the boffins at Bitterjug.com labs, we are now able to bring you a miracle of modern technology:
We’ve noticed a proliferation of independent Churches in Kenya, most of them with imaginitive names. It must be hard, we decided, to keep inventing new names for all the new churches that keep springing up. Katie, the Peace Corps volunteer from Tala, made an extensive tour of Western Kenya recently and gathered data on words suitable to appear in the name of a Kenyan church. We present them here for the convenience of anyone setting up a new church in Kenya.

Mark Says:
OK I have to tell you that Maximum Miracle Centre is a real church and it’s really big in Kenya. It comes up first because I programmed it that way. Its really popular, I know someone who goes to the one in Tala and they have singing and preaching and everything. I don’t know what its like beyond that but the name sounds like the ultimate scam to me and Im amazed anyone takes it seriously.
But they do.
I once told my students that they ought not to rely on Maximum Miracle education, where I come to the front of the class each day and preach at them and eventually, by a miracle, they learn something.

I just tested the Church Name Generator on MSIE 5.00 and there is some sort of bug in the Javascript code that means the lights dont flash. It gives an error message too. D(

They’d sack you for short hair?

Heh Sheila,
November 7th, 2005 at 10:35 pmI seem to have buggered up the links when I set the page counters up. But worth it for your comment. Error 404 is a great name for a Kenyan church! Now, what can I do to fix this problem, which also seems to have made all the photos and pictures disappear!… ;]
Mark Says:
I’ve turned permanent links off again, as they were when I set this site up. That means the URLs of pages look like this:-
http://…blog/?p=276#comment-1246
Instead of like this:-
http://…blog/2005/10/26/kenyan-church-name-generator/
… and the statistics have all been reset
. But my pictures are appearing again 
. I will fix it properly when I finally make contact with my web host and switch the domain names over. Meanwhile, please bear with me.
