Church attendance amongst Britain's youth may be dwindling but young Christians are turning to the Internet in droves to find love. Christian Connection, an online matchmaking service, said it has signed up nearly 4,000 members since last October and at least five weddings are now planned. The Web site offers "an opportunity for Christians from all denominations to meet, mix and match", according to its homepage. The statement quoted one satisfied member, identified only as Anne, as hoping the man she met through the site might be her "Mr Right". "I have been blessed to meet a wonderful man who at the very least is now a great friend," she said. "I had a bit of faith that I would eventually meet someone but not by sitting at home waiting patiently." (Agencies) | 在英国，进教堂做礼拜的年轻人越来越少了，年轻的基督徒们正在通过网络寻找自己生命中的另一半。 从去年10月以来，已有4000人在一个名为"基督徒纽带"的网站注册，其中至少有5对新人通过这个网站相互认识, 并准备举行婚礼。 网站在其首页上写道，"各个宗派的基督信徒都可以在我们的网站上找到见面和结合的机会。" 一名叫安娜的女子对网站的服务十分满意。作为网站的会员，她希望能够在这个网站上找到自己的另一半。 她说："我非常幸运的在网上认识了一个好男人，我们已经成为了好朋友。我相信我会碰上一个好人，但只是耐心的坐在家里等待显然不是办法。" (中国日报网站) |
