Doing spiritual stuff in the outdoors

Prosacc

PROSACC is a series of newsletters that have grown out of the Sunday Afternoon Cycling Church based in Christchurch. While the actual cycling done on Sundays is seen as a genuine spiritual activity, the newsletters are fictional and are a hilarious look at the issues Christian churches face. Women in leadership, creation/evolution, cycling in tongues, church structure, tithing, prosperity, end times, overseas mission, baptism, communion, end times – they’re all debated from a cycling perspective with cartoons to illustrate. The result is very entertaining and also raises significant questions about how we actually go about doing ‘spiritual stuff’, with the suggestion that outdoor activity is maybe a better way of being spiritual than meeting in a church building.

 

The printed book is available for $10 with $1 postage in NZ.
