My friend, Phil Wyman, is putting on a provacative conference called “God For People Who Hate Church.” Phil is that wild pastor man up in Salem, Mass, who is being Jesus to his neo-pagan and witch friends, finding innovative ways to seek forgiveness for how the Church has mistreated those friends.
The gathering will feature the preacher-punk, Jay Bakker, son of Jim Bakker. (Years ago, when I first saw Jay interviewed on TV I wanted to marry him.) This will not be your typical Christian conference. It will even include open dialogue with atheists and pagans, who’ll talk candidly about how Christians have demeaned those they’ve tried to reach with the Good News.
