Mixing Religion with Drinks

I was reading the recent New Yorker tonight (partly because I forgot the Juggler, and partly because I am trying to get into the habit of reading again) and I came across this very humorous story about a Pastor by the name of Jay Bakker, who was performing his first New York sermon in a popular Williamsburg bar named Pete's Candy Store.

All in all, the twelve people who attended Bakker's NY introduction seemed rather receptive to his service, but it was the commentary by two of the women attendees that seemed to put the mix of bar and religion into perspective. "What really sucks about church is that it's so early on Sunday morning, so I like that this is four in the afternoon, "one woman said. "Neither of us is drinking," her companion noted," but it's nice to have that option."
