‘Twist and Shout?’ UMC Church Replaces Worship Songs With Beatles Tribute Band

San Dieguito United Methodist Church is a progressive UMC congregation in Encinitas, CA. Led by Rev. Dr. Mark Maddix, they pride themselves on being a “welcoming and inclusive community” that endeavors to “think critically, love authentically, and serve passionately.”

Rather than believing the bible is inspired and inerrant, they instead “view Scriptures through the lens of church tradition, human reason, and lived experience.”

This low view of scripture perhaps explains a recent church service, where rather than have their usual worship set consisting of songs that praise the Lord and give him glory, they invited a Beatles tribute band to play Beatles tunes, including Let it Be, I Want to Hold Your Hand, Eight Days a Week, and, Twist and Shout.

    If it ain’t credo-baptist, it ain’t a church. All the high churches are high on crack and have become nothing but concert halls. After all, they are full of baby baptized unregenerate atheists.
