This is the ongoing topic in the church my mom goes to these next few weeks.
Apparently being “culturally relevant” now involves copyright infringement and ripping off seven-year-old ad campaigns. /facepalm
You’re currently reading ““culturally relevant” — seriously?.”
ha ha. The church I interned for TOTALLY ripped off those silhouettes about four years ago. AMAZING.
On a side note I find it funny that the silhouette sort of resembles you, Torchy. 
More to the point, though, churches have never been known as bastions of creative expression and original thought. They operate out of an ages-old manual and modern churches co-opt “things kids these days are into” in order to frame that ages-old text into a sort of hip context.
I’m not slamming either the Bible or kids these days. I appreciate both. It’s churches I take issue with. Especially McChurches. Gimme a break with the iPod reference, Beulah. I mean REALLY? iPod? Have you left the confines of the building in the past couple of years?
Come on - you know church marketing sucks.

Hi.
Thoughts From The Sugar Bowl has been around in various incarnations for, oh, about the last 5 years now. After taking most of 2007 off for various reasons, I’ve brought it back, mostly so I can list more URLs under my name on Facebook.
The site still has a few kinks to be worked out, mostly in the layout department. There are some notable deficiencies when it comes to Internet Explorer, some of which I hope to get to, but in the meantime there are some easy ways to keep those to a minimum for the reader.
Also, it should be stated that I have an employer, they kick ass, but the thoughts here are solely mine, not necessarily theirs. There, that should hold the laywers off.
