Worse than the U2charist

Lutheran church holds “Worship with the Beatles.”

Gag. At least U2 sings about Jesus sometimes.

  1. The young fogey

    Like much of the Establishment at the time I enjoy the Beatles but this is stupid – and one more boomer-nostalgia thing for the kids to scorn as they write off church.

  2. Lutheran Zephyr

    I wish the reporter would have asked how a Beatles-themed worship service fits within the teachings, tradition or theology of the church. Nowhere does the pastor say or does the reporter ask WHY a church would do such a service – the only reason cited in the article is nostalgia.

    Yeah, nostalgia. That’s what we’re about in the church.

    Give me a break.

  3. Like it or not, nostalgia is what worship is about most of the time anyway, so why not?

    On a related note, a friend who used to attend our church once suggested an all Dylan worship service, to bring in youngher people. Yeah.
