text: There's an account in the Bible where Jesus expels the merchants and money changers from the Temple, accusing them of turning the Temple into "a den of thieves" through their commercial activities. Somehow, this is exactly what the United Church is doing as part of its "outreach" to millennials. Being progressive is one thing, being misguided quite another. The United Church was recently in the news because an ordained minister claimed the right to lead her congregation despite having publicly declared herself an atheist. Gretta Vosper has since launched a "secular community" to satisfy her need to be a self-help guru. I don't mean to single out the United Church, but Christian churches as a whole (including the Catholic Church and its never-ending global pedophile scandal) have lost their way. Religious worship is out of style, but conservative congregations such as the Society of St Pius X are thriving by sticking to old Christian traditions instead of falling for the latest fads.
