Dr Who and church membership

So what has Dr Who got to do with church membership? Answers in the comments section please, but here's one connection.

A few weeks ago, we had a baptismal service at church. Usually, Phil our minister plans the order of service very carefully, but I reckon, this week, he must have shifted things round in his word document on the computer without actually checking it, as we took Richard into church membership before he had been baptised. Not the right way round at all. I do hope the Baptist Church police aren't reading this... Then again, why would they, no-one else does...

Anyway, one could be forgiven for thinking it is actually a sensible way of doing it, as Richard would have been totally soaked after the baptism and being accepted into membership and taking communion would not have been too convenient under those circusmtances. For a start, it would have made the bread soggy.

And Phil might have got away with no-one noticing it, but he went and drew attention to the rather unusual order of events. But then as explanation, he said that he thought it did not really matter to God, as God is outside time.... And that, to quote Dr Who, it is one of those timey wimey moments.

If you need an explanation of that, here is the good Doctor himself, explaining the concept of Timey wimey stuff.

There, hope that helped. Not often that Dr Who makes his way into a church service, but I suppose there is a similarity. After all, Dr Who is a Time Lord, but Jesus Christ tops that, as He IS the Lord of time.
