This absolutely has me laughing uncontrollably as I write this. We must not take ourselves too seriously. My friend, Dcn. Gordon over at The Continuing Anglican Churchman has this caption beside the picture posted here. I can't stop laughing.
Here is an innovative idea: an inflatable church. Can't afford a new building? Get the inflatable church instead! Kicked out of your building by your ECUSA bishop? Buy an inflatable church, and set up across the street in protest! It even has inflatable pews and stained glass windows. It would probably be too risky to use incense inside, so it may not appeal to anglo-catholics, but for everyone else this thing might be a real problem solver.
Take a look inside.

Stick Joel Osteen in one of those, and I guarantee it'll achieve orbit in no time.

"We must not take ourselves too seriously. "
I wonder if the problem of our age is exactly that we don't take God that seriously.
"Show yourself in all respects to be a model of good works, and in your teaching show integrity, dignity, and sound speech that cannot be condemned" - Titus 2
Nothing wrong with being lighthearted and joyful, but the truth with which we have been entrusted is deadly serious business.
We've lost that.

Yes but most pew warmers are already over inflated anyway. Wouldn't you agree?

what, it doesn't have a bouncy floor? Give it a bouncy floor, and your children will beg to go to church - aw, mom, can't we stay for the second mass?

My church's pews are fitted with seat belts to keep those of us who are overly filled with hot air from floating away.

LOL ROTF LOL CMEO That story is positively hysterical!
The responses to this article are telling, though. Folks, Proverbs: "A merry heart doeth good like a medicine" pretty much covers this. Sour and sullen attitudes do not attract seekers. A structure like this would at least provoke curiosity. Furthermore, it provides temporary shelter and is portable. And, need I remind everyone that "..wherever two or three are gathered, there I am in the midst."? Please, let's applaud the inventiveness of the architect and then go out and try to improve on the design. Let's give "church in a box" a new, exciting meaning! Any takers?

Why not build your new church out of Legos? You could stick it to the the ECUSA leadership AND support Denmark at the same time!

Naw...no inflatible priests, but I'll bet it comes with a puffed up bishop! No shortage of those.
