U2 Easter Eucharist

The local ABC website carried a story and link to CNN.com about several episcopal churches across the States using a postcard mailout campaign and U2 music driven liturgy to attract interested worshippers this Easter. Having done similar things I am interested in this and the raft of recent 'young people rediscovering faith' articles which pop up in the print media. For more on the U2 liturgy check out http://www.cnn.com/2006/SHOWBIZ/Music/04/14/u2.eucharist.ap/index.html?section=cnn_showbiz

I wondered if the original some months back was drawn from "Get Up Off Your Knees: Preaching the U2 Catalogue" but it certainly has interesting possibilities either way... Trevor J's 5 week exploration of U2's music at Neutral Bay drew someone from the neighbourhood in off the street just about every week!!

As ever the nay sayers will think what they will 'rich, rockers, swearing, who are you worshipping... etc etc'.... whatever!!

I'm happy to become all things to all people in order that I might at least encounter a few... not sure who does the saving?
