This is just so wrong. (NRx)

Hey, whatever packs 'em in the pews........so to speak.

[Peter W. Kessler]

Then avoid such worship services.

As for the folks in the pool, it appears as if they’re worshiping God.

I can’t find fault with that.

[firebrand]

He knows the hearts.

It’s amazing how many situations that applies to.

[Zathras]

Other than the cookie and the scuba masks, it looks like a less formal version of the Baptismal on the River Jordan in Israel.

[Celerity]

Now THAT is a WTF.

[SamAdams76]

I think the best place for Communion is in a bar. They already stock the wine and I think pretzels can technically serve as the bread.

My sincere condolences then to the Orthodox for the blasphemy incurred against Our Lord. I thought the West were the only ones afflicted with this sacrilege.

Here is a Novus Ordo pool pic:

[TADSLOS]

Coulda been worse...

[Not A Snowbird]

Are you sure?

[jacknhoo]

Tax free pool?

[txrefugee]

Apparently, you disagree with St. Paul that worship should conducted with “decency and order.”

[SkyDancer]

Looks like he’s dunking a chocolate chip cookie in some red stuff.

[Georgia Girl 2]

Aqua Mass. I like it.

[P.O.E.]

Tell Her No

[Edward.Fish]

Acts 8:34-36
And the eunuch said to Philip, “About whom, I ask you, does the prophet say this, about himself or about someone else?” Then Philip opened his mouth, and beginning with this Scripture he told him the good news about Jesus. And as they were going along the road they came to some water, and the eunuch said, “See, here is water! What prevents me from being baptized?”

[beebuster2000]

whats bad about it? if people want to worship Him their way so what?

looks like a righteous group

[Fred Hayek]

I remember seeing photos where the hood of the jeep was the altar, and the chaplain was wearing a stole over his olive drab fatigues.

[NRx]

“I think this happens to be an Orthodox priest though, so not Novus Ordo.”

I am gonna go out on a limb here and say that I have a high degree of confidence that this is NOT Orthodox. Whether it is Roman Catholic or some flavor of liturgical Protestantism is an open question.

[Swede Girl]

I understand the negative responses, but my first thought was that it is better than nothing at all. I think it is ok if it is sprinkled with the traditional. At least this is a positive event and these kids aren’t out on the streets doing drugs and whatever else.

Why does it appear to be taken from an Orthodox Christian blog?
