Ditching the Sermon and using Drama

An emergent Church in Pennslyvania has done away with preaching and instead are having a play. The pastor, a tattooed United Methodist minister, said, "Instead of coming to our church and listening to a sermon, you can be part of the sermon."

The church called Hot Metal Bridge is part of the emergent church movement that rejects
rigid orthodoxy and strives to use hip language and culture to draw in
young Americans who stopped, or never started, attending church.

Click here to read a newspaper article about this church. It's a must read. Is this a sign of things to come? I hope not, but I'm afraid that it is.
