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."
