Actually it's not really my thing either. Too big. Remember the type of shows I go to, not huge rock concerts.

This would be more my type of thing in NYC: http://www.brooklynpaper.com/stories/35/48/dtg_churchattrashbar_2012_11_30_bk.html

Hell on the front page of their website they even have a poster advertising some event that says "Conservations about art and some seriously deep sh!t" (but uncensored). So awesome. Reminds me of the time that woman preaching said "But Jesus wasn't like that at all. Jesus was like, "No, f[inks] that!"" *lots of applause*

Wait, she actually said that in the pulpit?

Did Nadia Bolz-Weber happen to come to your church one day? Tongue

Well no, because there is no pulpit. Tongue But yes while preaching the sermon.

And no, Nadia Bolz-Weber is an actual minister, she was just some small group leader preaching during a series of all guest speakers.

Prosperity theology is unsurprisingly a frequently attacked target of Christian hardcore bands.

Come to think of it, though as noted it is too big for me, it does have a ton of advantage that I haven't really seen in any church before. For example note how everyone is standing the whole time. More room for dancing. In fact the whole thing actually reminded me of this. Note the hand movements for example, very similar. In fact if it wasn't for the lyrics that video could easily be from a church service too. And that's the way it should be. After all unlike shows church is also free.

Also worth noting that his preaching style is basically exactly the same as how hardcore frontmen give their little speeches between songs.
