Back in Time Church . . . .

Another way to categorize a church is by decades. Wouldn't it be neat to have a church set up as they were, say, in the 1950s? Everyone would wear 50s clothing, use 50s slange and expressions; pastors would preach on 50s issues, and so forth. I'm sure there is a list somewhere of pupular hymns from...

Church of "Dem Bones . . ."

Although I am not a Christian, I love listening to the "old Negro spirituals." I'd attend a church that featured them as their primary music. Let's have such a church and call it "The Church of Dem Bones." Sign in to see full entry.

A Church with Levels . . . .

Have churches ever consdered having a stacked worship service, using different locations and ministers? Too often, newcomers, neophytes, are in the same sanctuary as the old-timers who are ready and hungry for advanced stuff. Let the more experienced in a religion get into the "nitty-gritty" of a...

Church of the Dead

How about one last chance to make good with your maker? A refrigerated chapel could be used to store stiffs until they are embalmed or otherwise treated for burial. They would be placed into pews, in a sitting position, with church music playing, hymns resounding, and perhaps even a recorded sermon... Sign in to see full entry.

Parish of the iPod Pastor

Can you imagine being able to get your entire church service via e-mail, or downloaded from a web site? Each week the pastor and the choir, and whomever else participates in the service, prepare the service on tape, digitize it and put it out to people so that they can put it onto their iPods, MP3...

Church of the Mother's View

This is perhaps a church all children and many adults should join. The minister, a female, motherly figure, would greet all parishoners at the door, check their hands and nails and ears for cleanliness. After all were deemed ready for worship, shirtsw tucked, clean hands, etc., the minster would... Sign in to see full entry.

Church of the Immaculate Sinner . . . . .

Yes, I know, by some religions we are all sinners, but how a bout a church where you have to have committed a really big "sin" before you could join? This church would be composed of many ex-cons, and the goal of the church would be to help alleviate the emotions, drives and so forth that caused the... Sign in to see full entry.

Fashion Church

For many, going to church is a way of showing off your best clothing; you get to show others that you are, indeed, fashionable. Some of the hats ladies wear are interesting, to say the least. Men are generally boring, even in their cjhurch wear. So, let's make it official in our Fashion Church. Each... Sign in to see full entry.

Church of the Absolutely Faithless . . . . . .

Church is a positive influence on many people's lives. Yet, sometimes, people go to church merely because of peer pressure; it's a societal thing. How about a church for the faithless, a place they could go on Sundays and religious holidays to lighten the load of peer pressure without actually... Sign in to see full entry.

Church of the Seasons . . . . .

How about a "Church of the Seasons"? How this works is a congregation purchases a tract of land and uses it according to the seasons. Today, for instance, they could build a snow house of worship, while in the spring or summer, a house of reeds or branches, covered with thatch would do nicely. Such... Sign in to see full entry.
