More Mainline Death Signs - The United Church's Watershed Issue

Running Well - » A Pressing Church Issue

DR links to an article discussing the United Church of Canada's next great watershed issue - the denunciation of bottled water. If this wasn't so pathetic I could laugh.

The absolute foolishness of the whole thing is that they came to this life-changing conclusion while sipping on, you guessed it... BOTTLED WATER!

This is one more proof that mainline Christianity in Canada is dead. See my article on that very topic here.

  1. And I thought I couldn't be shocked by the UCC any more. Wow.

  2. Hey Paul,
    I thought of you when I read this post: http://anablepo.blogspot.com/2006/08/church-planting-or-routine-maintenance.html
    Maybe you would be interested in sharing your insights and experience on church planting?

  3. OK, i'm going to stir up the pot a bit...

    So how does the pettyness of boycotting bottled water compare to the "battle" over the definition of marriage?

    Why not go for something big like a blasphemy law? How many times have we sat idly by when someone uses the Lord's name in vain or watched a movie where it is the norm. And considering it is in the ten commandments, it is important. Yes i know that we have freedom of speech and live in a pluralistic society. So how is this different from the definition of marriage?
