The Church of the Latter-Day Dude.

2008-06-16T19:54:00.001+02:00

The slowest-growing religion in the world is Dudeism. An ancient philosophy that preaches non-preachiness, practices as little as possible, and above all, uh...lost my train of thought there. Anyway, if you'd like to find peace on earth and goodwill, man, The Church of the Latter-Day Dude will help you get started. Right after a little nap.

Food for Faith Fellowship International.

2005-08-27T02:25:00.000+02:00

Food for Faith Fellowship International is an unusual church in the Los Angeles area that uses lively, urban contemporary music to create intense worship in an intimate, informal setting, offers innovative, practical spiritual instruction, and inspires people with little or no church experience to build an intelligent relationship with God.

The pastor wears an earring. Shorts and jeans are normative, but anything is possible if it will help to make the point. From a Black Panther get up to smilie face boxer shorts over a pair of slacks to an apron. No bible, no problem. Each worship service begins with a relevant, sometimes irreverent video clip, as does each sermon. Perhaps most unusual is the style of music. Food for Faith transforms secular music for sacred worship by converting the lyrics while preserving the beats and melodies.
