Have you seen the picture on the site? This does not even look like a church it looks like a Rock and or Roll concert!
Actually, the picture is of Chandler at a leader’s conference in 2013 according to the caption. Seriously, they couldn’t find a recent photo of him in his own church? Yes, the Pravda on the Hudson is playing us, and they know it.
That's one of my biggest gripes about worship in the 21st century. In churches both big and small, the electric guitar is driving out the choirs, organs and traditional hymns.
I get all the “looks not like a church” aspect of many mega churches, for sure.
Appearances aside, my point is why Pravda on the Hudson would do the story. My view is they have a political theme to sell, which is “all evangelical Christian mega churches are bad”. And any story they can find that would sell that theme gets a thumbs up from their editors.
That wasnt The Village, it was an event in Atlanta at which he was speaking.
Unfortunately, most do look like that today.
