Hi,Interesting news from the Anglican church, who always get alot of respect from me for adapting to meet the needs of modern society.
But have they gone too far this time?
The Birmigham Cathedral is going to open Anglican themed wine bars as a way to encourage converts and hopefully make some money.
The clergy of the cathedral are behind this move which is definately blurring the line between the church and its community of alcohol loving English folk.
"Fully in line with Christian sacrement" you might say. But - as with most of the rest of Christian dogma and ceremonies a wine sacrement was borrowed from other older religions.
Most well known is of course the worship of Dionysus. Who is actually alot older than his most associated Greek pantheon.
Lets hope that this subtle switch of deviotions does not spread. Orthodox Christians will not like their Sunday worship turned into a all out debauched revel.
Then again it might tempt me into attending...
NP Out
