How to be a Christian in a Bar
The Long Version Christians who go out to bars have often been criticized and labeled as “hypocrites” for not acting in an appropriate Godly way. However, as Episcopalians, we can see the value of having a good time and, in the words of the great Marc Burnette, “Every good party is a foretaste of Heaven.” From this, we can see the opportunities that God has for us to share God’s love anywhere. Likewise, we are called to meet people where they are—at church, on campus, or in the wider world.
