Are you such a party animal that you can’t bear to tear youself away from the club scene…. even to go to church? Never fear. The church will come to you. Stay as you are, have a drink (have as many as you like) and don’t worry! They’ll even entertain you.
That’s right. Solace Church is ready to preach right IN the nightclubs and bars. Forget about sobering up. Anything goes. As the Solace Church says “Drink While You Think”. Or come by for the live acts and music. Or even the free food. Or be amused while they find (albeit far-fetched) ways to tie in ‘Prison Break’ with church.
Sheesh. This is getting desperate.
To engage young parishioners, 26-year-old Reverend James Karran of the Ararat Baptist Church in Cardiff, Wales, UK, will hold his sermonds in … a nightclub! And his flock will be able to buy alcohol at the bar and listen to live bands as part of the experience.
The ‘Solace - church in a bar’ nights will be held every Sunday from April. According to the Ararat Baptist church website, the idea of the services, which is being run by the Baptist Union church branch Solace, is to "make church relevant and accessible to a 21st Century, post-Christendom society". "Don’t expect sermons, hymn singing, pews and pulpits here."
