Taking Christ out of Christianity


Why go to a "Christian" church if you don't want Christ?
No wonder "churches" are in trouble.

"That triumphal barnburner of an Easter hymn, Jesus Christ Has Risen Today - Hallelujah, this morning will rock the walls of Toronto's West Hill United Church as it will in most Christian churches across the country.
But at West Hill on the faith's holiest day, it will be done with a huge difference. The words 'Jesus Christ' will be excised from what the congregation sings and replaced with 'Glorious hope.'"
