Happy, Um.... "It's All About Us!" Sunday.

Today Christians celebrate the Resurrection of Jesus Christ (at least, we Christians who still believe in such things). But here is a look at where The Episcopal Church (tm) will be in a few years, if much of our current church leadership has anything to say about it:

That triumphal barnburner of an Easter hymn, 'Jesus Christ Has Risen Today – Hallelujah', this morning will rock the walls of Toronto's West Hill United Church as it will in most Christian churches across the country.

But at West Hill on the faith's holiest day, it will be done with a huge difference. The words “Jesus Christ” will be excised from what the congregation sings and replaced with “Glorious hope.”


Read it all. Chris Johnson, as usual, is all over it.
