Folks, I wish I was making this up.

“Ushers handed out earplugs and fluorescent glow sticks for the “U2 Eucharist,” a communion service punctuated by the Irish rock band’s music. Episcopal parishes from California to Maine have hosted similar events, weaving U2’s tunes — laced with biblical references — into the liturgy.”

Now, I’m a big fan of U2 and a bigger fan of Christ. My only problem with this is that it’s a whole service focused around U2. Now detractors may say that it’s all in the lyrics. The lyrics glorify God. But I just think that something in all of this gets lost in the translation. The focus is off.
