"Christians are challenged to live and witness to their faith in all parts of their lives and in every place. I am impressed that those of the Goth Eucharist are working out this challenge; going where only few of the church venture and seeking an expression of the Christian gospel in terms that are distinct and new."

-Right Rev. Robert, Bishop of Whitby

It's dark. There are lots of candles. They play Sisters of Mercy, the Cure, Bauhaus, Cruxshadows, (etc.) during the service. The priest is a Goth. And afterwards instead of having coffee they go to a Goth club down the street. This is the Goth Eucharist at St. Edward King and Martyr church, in Cambridge, England.

You may have heard of churches starting alternative services, from "contemporary" evening services to balance a more traditional morning service, all the way to something as thematically specific as a service featuring the music of U2 (also known as a 'U2charist'). St. Edward's Goth Eucharist follows in this line, translating the gospel and Christian worship into yet another vernacular.
