The United Church of Canada is so far gone into liberal heterodoxy that the people who participated in this mockery wouldn't understand why what they did is wrong.
It’s okay, as long as they don’t think they are Christians. Kinduv a club or something else.
Some religions are laughable.
60 year old chaps in sneakers, shorts, black socks, oscar the grouch shirts and railroad conductor hats ?
Whats wrong with that ?
There is an enormous amount of humor and laughter in the Bible, and Jesus was good at telling jokes Himself (e.g., his picture of straining for gnats while swallowing camels). You don’t need “laughing yoga” to experience the joy of Christ, and the humor in the Word. To misquote the Clint Eastwood character in “Heartbreak Ridge,” God is looking for a few good laughers; unfortunately, these people ain’t it.
I’ve seen just as bad in some “evangelical churches,” sadly.
Check out Fellowship Church in Grapevine, Texas for some examples of similar cockamamie ideas.
They’re not Wesleyan by any stretch of the imagination.
Wesley would be appalled.
Maybe I’ll convert for the jokes!
This is NOT...." When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things"
