Local Church Declares Every Possible Activity A Ministry
Recently, a nearby parish held a "eucharist" at a local bar. It was a variation of the Church of England's failed "pub eucharist ministry" of a few years back, which was essentially playing church in a public house. Beer instead of wine, homemade chewy-like-gumbo bread instead of hosts. It was hip, it was groovy, and it didn't welcome everyone, like we're supposed to when we celebrate the sacrament. You see, if you're an alcoholic, the last place you want to worship is in a bar.
It would be like holding a "eucharist" in a place that is absolutely impossible to access if you're not 100% able bodied. But, what the heck? Ministry!
