As part of a goal of converting 10% of Sydney to Christianity by 2012, the Anglican Archbishop of Sydney is proposing spending half a million dollars on distributing the Gospel of Luke to every family in the city.

I have two questions about this plan: firstly, is this actually an effective way to gain converts, or is it spam? Secondly, what could, say, Anglicare do with half a million bucks?

(Dr Jensen has a point about most people not having read the Bible since childhood - I remember a prepubescent effort of mine to read the entire Good News New Testament, which floundered somewhere in the Acts. I'm curious about why Luke seems to be the gospel of choice for evangelism, so I must have a re-read of it.)

2 of the bibles are family heirlooms, one is my old Good News Bible, and the other is my King James version for literature study. I like the Bible gateway, though, handy for finding good quotes.
