You couldn't make it up dept no.87: the sermon will not be televised

[fpb]

From www.floridatoday.com:
A church giving sermons about sex may have to find a new home. Brevard Public School District's risk-management department has threatened to boot New Hope Church out of Sherwood Elementary because of a worship series titled "Great Sex for You."

Church leaders mailed 25,000 fliers, asking residents "Is Your Sex Life A Bore?" The three-week program kicked off inside the school auditorium. Pastor Bruce Cadle had said the Christian church has been "shamefully silent" on the taboo topic.

Mark Langdorf, the director of risk management, says the mailers generated complaints, were not appropriate for elementary school children and shouldn't be used to advertise the sermon in the school.

Langdorf says the church's lease contract is under review.

Sorry it took me so long to reply, but mentalguy pretty much made the point I want to make, which is of course, that I am not a moral or theological relativist. Therefore I made the statement in much the same way that I would describe someone who claimed that Chinese characters are pictographs as not having a true grasp of linguistics.

Well, we adore the Eucharist, which is usually kept reserved within church buildings--hence the pious custom of removing one's hat if male and crossing oneself when passing by a church. I do the latter only, not being male.
