Any resemblence between this and orthodox Christianity is, of course, unintentional and strictly coincidental.

The “labyrinth walks” are just creepy and Satanic to me. I’m sure most discerning Christians would agree.

Matthew 7:13,14:

"Enter by the narrow gate;
for wide is the gate
and broad is the way that
leads to destruction,
and there are many who
go in by it.

Because narrow is the gate
and difficult is the way
which leads to life,
and there are few
who find it."

Sad, really.

A broader church (Fun in the woods with gay, tattooed and generally liberal folk)

“And all the people said, ‘Unnngh!’.”

I don’t want to think what this could devolve into.

A gay acquaintance who happens to be relatively conservative has told me some real horror stories about the “gay scene”. He hand his partner went to a picnic for gay families and friends at the infamous Rainbow farm in southern Michigan some years ago.

He said it was the only picnic he’s ever seen that involved gay men having sex in the mud with children watching.

Mainline Protestants, however, seemed delighted by the festival, and may well latch on to the emergents to shore up their shrinking numbers.

I doubt that highly.

The few conservatives at the festival privately complained that the panels were stacked with liberals and that issues dear to them, such as abortion, were neglected.

I would not presume to speak for Jesus, but does anybody picture the Lord taking a pregnant teen (or woman for that matter) by the hand, leading her to an abortion clinic?

Interesting that it took place in a “grove of trees”.

Jesus warned us that in the days before His return that there would be the 'falling away' of the true church. Man O man...

Look at all those itching ears going down the wide road. It is shocking how many have fallen away from the atoning blood of Christ for other ways of their own imagination.

Read my tag line.

Luckily for these folks God is not as much into smoting as he once was.

A whole 1500 attendees? That’s truly a groundswell.

My mother loved to go places where flaky people like these gathered, so I’ve seen plenty of what goes on at these kinds of events first hand. As a child, I didn’t realize what made me dislike them so much, and dislike the whole hippy movement as well (of which events like this are a descendent). Now, I know. It’s because of the phoniness, so thick it would take a chainsaw to get through it. These people are so busy pretending they (and all people) are something they aren’t that they totally lose sight of who they really are.
