Last summer, Pathfinder Church in Ellisville, MO put on a “Shrek” themed church service as part of their Reel Gospel series.
Preached by Pastor AJ Mastic, the promo material for the four-week series reveals that because “all of our best human stories contain echoes of this divine truth,” the church will “see how some popular movies contain an unexpected facet of the Gospel, and how these fictional stories can reveal important truths about the love of God.”
Apparently, the non-fictional stories in the scriptures are insufficient to reveal these important truths, and so they need the hijinks of an animated green ogre with a Scottish accent to prop it up.
When the bible isn’t enough, nothing is ever enough.
