“Blow-up church” to meet lost where they are…at the beach
Tagged Under : church, culture, news
The Catholic church in Rome are going to meet the lost where they are this summer, and that’s at the beach. They have a 98ft long blow up church that will be staffed with priests ready to take confession. One of the priests who spearheaded the operation said,
“The concept of a beach-convent is something that is appreciated by vacationers and the nuns themselves,” priest Antonio Rungi, who helped spearheaded the initiative, told Italian news agency ANSA.
My complaint on this is an obvious mis-understanding of what the church is. Guys, leave your building and goto the beach, this isn’t reaching out to the lost. It’s trying to make it more convenient for them to reach out to you, the church. Stop hiding in your inflatable building, take off the robes and put on some swim trunks, pop that building and love some people.

Now THAT’s innovation! Doing the same thing you’ve always done… in exactly the same way… but on the beach in a blow-up church building.
that’s just awesome…way to think ‘inside the box’
