not a topic so much as an exclamation....

Somewhere on this site, I saw a post about two United Churches joining to hold future services in a movie theatre. To my amazement, I have just heard on radio that it is happening right here in Moncton. Sounds like a story to be followed. (I presume that this is a pioneer effort in Canada; and I'm not confusing two, new churches.)

there is a church (not united) in our area that hold its service in a movie theatre.

 

It may be new to the united church.  it isn't a new idea.

Lots of churches use movie theatres. Not many United Churches, because most have buildings. One wonders if the Moncton experiment is a deliberate strategy or a flash in the pan?

 

Lookls like it is a deliberate strategy of amalgamation of two United churches (Stilesville & Humphrey Memorial) in North Moncton.

I am following splinter groups that are being absorbed by all kinds of people in story telling environments ... like pubs, poolhalls and theatres ... so they can see something they are allowed to question outside the institution that can't see anything beyone 6016 years or so ... just sic, or approximate on what they know as God ...

 

Enough to give Semonites "c" sickness ... in the dark at that for no one knocked nothing to see if there was anything there ...

 

Love has nothing ... but a vast hunger to know as God!

 

"My child did you learn anything out there?"

 

Ever get that sinking feeling? Almost everyday I think I've not learned enough about all-that-is! God dis interest is rampant due to avoidance in the powers.

 

Come to find out they didn't know much about intellect, or emotions either ... leading to a psyche action group ... odd thing! A greyish sort of blob that thinks indeterminately? That could be a Complex Nos. ... aye mates ... pair up now before the Empire gives ye a screwing over ... Pi Rates? No meis un ... just a small muse ... some people can make anything of it with a few words ... it's a mire mind sort of dirtied with Love ...

 

The general population doesn't like eM it appears ... creation put em underground and called eM Moles ... sort of a CIA group of unknown where abouts ... self interested in the whole thing ... whatever that means ... Luce'd Kos's ... converting to affectations?

 

You must admit those down here are a bit w'ired ... or is there another spelling ... weird? Ova ankh'd Isle do ... to upset eM over what words they don't know! They'll turn emselves inside out to say eM badly ... it is the aggressive way!

 

So we've been taught ...

I attend one in Halifax (not United Church) and really enjoy it whenever I do.  Seats are real comfy!

If the Church in Moncton get it right it can be a great way to form a seeker church.
