How long-distance baptism was performed in the Stone Age. Or, you know, 3rd century Rome. From the Catcomb of Callixtus.
A piece on msnbc.com about online commuting to church. Apparently they even perform baptisms over webcams. I love this quote from Kurt Ervin, who runs the website for Central Christian Church
We live in a day and age and a culture where people go to school online, bank online, date online and do other things online
I think the only logical progression from “date online” is, well, you know. And is it just me, or was there an awkward beat before he said “and do other things online”? Oh, it’s just me.
Anyway, I love how immorally moral one church is about their Google keywords.
LifeChurch.tv has even found a way to attract people surfing for experiences that are far from pious. The congregation buys Google ad words so that a person searching for “sex” or “naked ladies” sees an ad inviting them to a live worship service instead.
Money spent saving souls from internet porn is money well spent
