Living as a Christian Pt 1
“What is church? It’s people, broken people … pretending not to be broken … and that’s what breaks it…”
The quote is from Phil Groom’s blog post – here / The clip is from Rev, a new BBC sitcom – here – its profound!
I think what’s so great about Rev is, its not making fun of God but it is highlighting how absurd people are.
This clip exposes the ‘Jesus is awesome’ mask brilliantly – if you can watch the full episode on iPlayer, you must do so! It highlights so much of what is wrong with our “21st Century Church” but also shows a beautiful and genuine Christian reaction to such false behaviour. Like i say, profound stuff!
I was talking to an older couple today in work and they were saying summat similar about the Church. Sometimes there’s a weird honesty amongst Christians, but only sometimes! Pity really.
Yep – there are plenty of folks who are willing to be honest – in typical blog fashion for me i have not said that in the post but its not all bad – i lean towards cynicism and gloom most of the time so…………..
thanks for the comment
Watched the fourth episode of this the other night, its hilarious in a kinda English father ted way. Must check out this episode.
I like their angle/look at the church, rather than poke fun at it, this just shows it. Interesting article here on it. http://www.guardian.co.uk/tv-and-radio/2010/jul/22/tom-hollander-rev-television-drama
what a great quote…interesting to mull over!
