He is just as present in the crack houses or brothels as he is in the churches. There can never be a place where he is not, even in dead churches.
Delightful!!
OMG this is funny! One of my new faves.
That Holy Ghost is soooo irreverant, and yet I have not laughed that hard at a cartoon in a long time.
Thanks for sharing!
Funny but a shame it all presents as a bit male, unless that’s a woman in a burkah which gives a whole new perspective
Really benefitted from the laugh, David….made my Sunday morning (it’s rather wet and bleak outside this morning…so much appreciated).
As Luther once said, “God is even present in my pea soup.”
But in His saving revelation…it is only in the presence of those 3 Dudes.
haha priscilla. good point.
I always loved this one. Don’t you think God sometimes God just hates going to church????
@Pricilla – I did not see it as a burkah, but as a child’s ghost costume: cut two eyeholes and throw a sheet over your head. Reminded me of the Great Pumkin Charlie Brown TV special from my youth.
A bit snarky; but incredibly funny!
I’m sharing this one with all of my friends who are alienated from institutionalized religion because their hunger for God could not be satisfied by the mass marketed, cookie-cutter Christianity that too often is subsituted for meaningful theological/spiritual formation.
In the beginning the church was a fellowship of men and women centering on the living Christ. Then the church moved to Greece where it became a philosophy. Then it moved to Rome where it became an institution. Next, it moved to Europe , where it became a culture. And, finally, it moved to America where it became an enterprise.–Richard Halverson, former chaplain of the United States Senate
In a rare interview in 1967 with Thomas McDonnell, [Thomas] Merton pronounced that the great crisis in the church is a crisis of authority precipitated because the church, as institution and organization, has overshadowed the reality of the church as a community of persons united in love and in Christ. He now charged that obedience and conformity with the impersonal corporation-church are a fact in the life of Christians. “The Church is preached as a communion, but is run in fact as a collectivity, and even as a totalitarian collectivity.~ George Kilcourse, ACE OF FREEDOMS: Thomas Merton’s Christ, Notre Dame Press, 1993
