Like Water for Chocolate

I couldn't believe this. An anglican church on the north shore of Sydney has on its notice board the great news that it will be door knocking the local area to give out Easter eggs!

Sorry Michael (that's the rector) Darrell Lea has already made that connection with Sydney.

I can see it now...'oh wow, the church is dropping off chocolate eggs, now its really connecting with my deepest needs'

Another dull idea from Connect09...Connect..oh dear!

Eric,

You can't in all seriousness blame them. I mean, what's one more pagan idea (Easter eggs) thrown in on top of another favourite of the SADs (theistic evolution).

Hmmm! It would have been a difficult decision, New Testaments or Easter Eggs? Oh well, it is Easter after all, let's go with the Eggs!

Aside from its complete naffness, its also hilariously dorky! Imagine if a JW knocked on your door and wanted to give you some little cheeses (because they think that Jesus was created....think on it for a while), all smiles as they are...I think the SADs, apart from being pathetic marketers, don't try to get into the other person's shoes at all to get a feel for what they would do with such an approach.

Of course, we know they don't try to answer the questions people have...that's why they avoid the evangelistic power of God's self revelation as creator.

Surely the important question is: were they that wimpy, flavourless milk 'chocolate' slime or the real deal-dark, gritty full of flavour chocolate?

Consider the theological implications chaps!

Warwick, I expect it would have been the milky stuff because that is what most in this backward society want but I am pleased to note increased production of dark chocolate Easter fare these days.
