I Go To Lark Street Church

LarkNews is really establishing itself quite well as "the Christian Onion". (The Holy Observer was a close second, but they seem to have become a ghost town so far this year.) When I first happened upon the site a couple years ago, I thought it was good, but I figured they'd probably run out of material pretty quick. What was I thinking? We Christians are always coming up with new lampoonables. Such as... Woman Upset By Theater Mix-up:

LANCASTER, Pa. — Maria Holsapple thought she was attending performances at the local community theater, but after twelve weeks, she was angered to learn she had been attending Oak Grove Center, a 3,000-member church.
   "I would never willingly go into an evangelical church," says Holsapple, a practicing Catholic.
   She came after Oak Grove mailed her "tickets" to upcoming "drama presentations." She enjoyed the "mini-concert, the play and the motivational speech they threw in at the end," she says.
   "It worked well as performance art," she says. "I was convinced it was a groundbreaking new theater company."
   But when neighbors remarked that they had seen her at church, Holsapple called Oak Grove and discovered it was a house of worship.
   "The pastor quoted Jesus, but he quoted Socrates, too, and Britney Spears," she says. "How was I to know?"

Zing!
