In another beautiful, yet semi-ironic example of taking the Gospel to the people, a parish from Down Under, will be bringing Jesus to an Irish Pub on Easter Sunday. St. James Anglican Church will hold Easter services this year in the bar at the Irish Club Hotel. I’ll certainly drink to that or to any form of outreach that involves the Body of Christ going into the world and meeting people where they are. It certainly beats sitting in stuffy church pews surrounded by red carpet and stained glass waiting for the world to come and sing a few hymns.
On a humorous note, I could not help but read this story and think about a song by Tim Wilson. The song is titled “First Baptist Bar and Grill” and is posted below for your amusement.
