Oh, how their wings have spread...
Scary fact to all back home. The founder of City Harvest Church came over to Uppsala, Sweden to give a talk.
OMG!!! OMG!!! This can't be true!!!
But it is. Ed told me that this evening.
Coincidently, CHC was also the church I was describing to him last week. Uber ostentatious (Come on, the excess money can be put to better use like helping the under-privileged instead of building an OTT building.) , over-zealous members antagonising members of public and other Christian faiths (Aren't they forgetting 'Love your neighbours'? Is attacking another person's beliefs the best way to start a dialogue or the spread the Good News?), other members attending services for all the wrong reasons (Christo-centric life, anyone?), etc. No wonder almost everyone I know, and almost everyone they know are against this type of movement.
Which leads me to wonder why the hell are they growing bigger? Maybe the numbers are made up of people who attend services for the wrong reasons?
BUT the comforting fact is... Even the Protestants in the group agreed with my views.
"I can totally understand how you feel."
Ah... I'm definitely in the right study group afterall.
By the way, Sun Ho came as well and sang. Now, I wish I were present for that. In spite of my bias towards the CHC (I still love them as individuals.), she is a rather good singer. Those who heard her agreed.
Late night today, early day tomorrow. How will I survive?
