Melbourne's Holy Pub - Docklands Church
Docklands Church
 Published: Oct 30, 07

Nothing like an ocean view, a chilled beer, servers with Aussie accents and… mass? A pub in Australia has been converted into a church for those looking for a really modern experience. Aside from a regular service, holy spirits abound; the Docklands Church does, in fact, serve ale and traditional pub grub.

A group of Christians wanting to attend mass in a churchless area of Melbourne created the make-shift place of worship inside the James Squire Brewhouse.

The church offers food, tea and coffee during the service, but no alcohol is limited to before and after.

"All we want to be is relevant, we want to be applicable and contemporary and...we're going to keep the bible open as well," said one parishioner, with a beer in his hand. Another parishioner said: "I think a lot of people who do want to go out and have a drink or go out and have a party often feel that they're excluded from God". (uk.reuters)
