Give me a break. We are not talking about breast feeding. And I don't give a rip about the building, it's temporary anyway like everything else except God Himself.

We are talking about a photo of women who claim to be representatives of God, a photo that is either shocking or titillating to many. If you don't think it will be, just take a look at some of the comments on this thread alone.

The Church is supposed to be above all this, the "pleasures" of the world. How can one who may be seeking take God and His Word seriously if he or she sees this? If I had seen this when I was seeking, I would have turn around in disgust and never bothered to look again, to my eternal damnation.

How so many in the Church cannot see how they contribute to the slippery slope of moral relavitism just blows my mind.

Good post.

You mighy appreciate the relevant comments by A.W. Pink in his exposition of the LJC's cleansing of the Jewish temple:

This incident rebukes the present-day desecration of the house of prayer. If the holy anger of the Lord Jesus was stirred when He beheld the profanation of that House which was to be a "house of prayer," if the idolatrous commercialization of it caused Him to cleanse it in such a drastic manner, how must He now regard many of the edifices which have been consecrated to His name! How tragically does history repeat itself. The things which are now done in so many church-houses—the ice cream suppers, the bazaars, the moving picture shows and other forms of entertainment—what are these but idolatrous commercialization of these "houses of prayer." No wonder that such places are devoid of spirituality and strangers to the power of God. The Lord will not tolerate an unholy mixture of worldly things with spiritual.

as you insightfully wrote:

and the worst thing is...it was within the church...that's totally a blasphemy...

Didn't some church ladies over in England do this same thing to raise money to buy a sofa for a waiting room after one of the women's husband died? They made a movie about it called Calendar Girls. They were very successful in their efforts. They not only raised enough to buy a sofa but they raised a lot of money for cancer research.

If this isn't the awful horror in the temple, of which the prophet Daniel spoke, it's close enough.

At least they didn't pop their tops during an actual service. But now...that makes me wonder what type of "services" could be found at that church.

I hope they keep the church cold so things will appear to be as perky as possible.

Seeing your picture of Helen Thomas reminded me of the story that Helen went to her doctor complaining that her friends said that she had become so shapeless that they couldn't tell her front view from a back view.
The doctor had her disrobe, looked at her for a minute and asked her to get down on her hands and knees and crawl toward him. He then asked her to turn around and crawl the other way.
The doctor then said, "You know, Miss Thomas, your friends are absolutely right."

The only thing to be learned by studying this photo is that the Episcopalian Church is in urgent need of a new membership drive.
While I think there is an old hymn titled, "Bringing in the Sheaves" this crowd could be described as, "Sagging in the Pews".

Amen...and I suspect these geezers making fun of the women aren't anything to brag about when we look at them, either.

Which of God's standards have these women forsaken?

I most truly hate to say this, but:

Why am I not surprised that this happened at an Episcopal church?


Of course, after seeing them adapt a wiccan style liturgy for a woman's service there for awhile, little else surprises me...not to mention the druidical "not supposed to mean anything but a social honor" ceremony the Archbishop of Canterbury went through right before he was appointed.

I wonder what St. Augustine of Canterbury thinks about his religious descendants....
