> What’s the point of such’ Christianizing?’ It’s all pretense.
I think in some cases it is better to start somewhere than not at all. It’s sorta like a dancing bear: the point is not how well the bear dances, but that the bear can dance at all.
If they never get started on walking the straight-and-narrow, they may never see that Christianity has so much more to offer than the shallow stuff that they have learned so far, and move on to more serious studies.
St Paul talks about the “milk” and the “meat” of the Word. You probably would not be fed any “meat” at their alternative congregation (they do have a “regular” congregation as well) because the people who attend just couldn’t digest anything stronger than just the basics.
So I guess the point of it all is to get people off the street and onto a better track. I find it difficult to criticize that.
