A building in Santa Cruz, Calif., is being converted into a worship space and public brewery by a pro-gay church that plans to donate some of its beer proceeds to Planned Parenthood, according to reports.
Members of the Greater Purpose Community Church now meet on Sundays at a food lounge to pray, listen and drink beer, KNTV reports.
"Theres nothing in the Bible that says you can't drink alcohol in a responsible manner," Pastor Chris VanHall told the station.
Planned Parenthood has offices in the former bookstore VanHall plans to turn into a brewery by next summer, The Santa Cruz Good Times weekly newspaper reported.
A church that serves beer and gives the profits away to places like Planned Parenthood is really exciting to me, the pastor told the paper...
VanHall told KION-TV in a report Friday that on Sundays there will be church in the bar "but its going to be before we open to the public."..
Anyway, he said, his sermons are always better after a couple of beers.

What conceivable relevance would Planned Parenthood be to them? Talk about having no dog in that particular fight.
How do gays come to need abortions, hmmm?
Fine. But a K of C hall isn't a church. Not everywhere Catholic men go together is a church. A church is where Our Lord resides, body, blood, soul, and divinity. It has a way different purpose. The priest drinking the wine at the altar has nothing to do with entertainment and camaraderie--good as those things are. It's part of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.
Actually they are both attacks on Biblical morality, specifically Biblical sexual partners, marriage and the intended normal fruit of it. And which attack is by the devil thru his proxy servants, who work to create an alternative kingdom with demonic corruptions of what God has ordained. And in which and by which the devil glorifies himself against God. As in the beginning but to his own damnation in the end.
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. (Ephesians 6:12)
And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever. (Revelation 20:10)
See above post.
But he that sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul: all they that hate me love death. (Proverbs 8:36)
Thanks
This is no church. Period. Their apostasy is so appalling they are outside what could even marginally be called Christian
Today he might work as a barista in the church café.
Which is a distinction I made in my OP: " Roman Catholics have their K of C bars, if not part of a church building,"
A church is where Our Lord resides, body, blood, soul, and divinity.
Only in the Catholic delusion, its corruption of the Lord's supper on many levels, which, among other things , is not what is manifest in the the only wholly inspired substantive authoritative record of what the NT church believed (including how they understood the OT and gospels), which is Scripture, especially Acts thru Revelation.
Is the K of C giving to dismember babies? I think I am pretty good with guys having a beer.
God is not mocked. They fall into the category, as Garrison Keilor one put it of “people you figured would never learn another thing in their lives, but after that was over, would be learning a whole lot.”
Was gonna say something similar. Alcohol ain’t the problem here.
Morality schmorality. It ain’t got any HEART itself.
synagogue of satan?
I can tell you from much experience
Santa Cruz. Over the hill from San José
Is a LOST CITY
A mini version of SF
>> Do you think I am that I am that ignorant of Catholicism as to not know this, or so careless that I cannot back it up?
Put down the chalice, sparky.
Frequenting the local Knights of Columbus is not part of our weekly ritual.
That is a different issue, as is sodomy, as was expressed in my OP.
