Further to the article below, an Amsterdam church has a new way to get people into the church:
Churches in Amsterdam were hoping to attract such people with a recent open evening.
At the Old Church “in the hottest part of the red light district”, the attractions included “speed-dating”.
As skimpily dressed girls began to appear in red-lit windows in the streets outside, visitors to the church moved from table to table to discuss love with a succession of strangers.
It might get bodies in the Church, but does it further the Kingdom?
Not the Kingdom of God.
The most interesting thing I found in that article was the statement “we can use the same words and mean different things”. Isn’t that exactly what the mainline church is doing in North America?
Yes it is, and it is actually more honest than the church in North America.
I wonder if they tithe?
