Church Gives Out Free Alcohol To Attract New Members

We have see a lot of strange things in the world today. With mainline religious congregations dwindling across America, a scattering of churches is trying to attract new members by creating a different sort of Christian evangelism. They now are gathering around craft beer. Interesting.

Some church groups are brewing it themselves, while others are bring the Holy Mysteries to a bar. The result is not sloshed
congregates, rather it's an exploratory approach to do church differently. Leah Stanfield stands at a microphone across the room from the beer taps and read the evening's gospel message.
She's a 28-year-old leasing agent who's been coming to Church-in-a-Pub here in Fort Worth, Tex. for a year, and occasionally leads worship.

"I find the love, I find the support, I find the non-judgmental eyes when I come here," she says. "And I find friends that love God, love craft beer." Every Sunday evening, 30 to 40 people gather at Zio Carlo brew pub to order pizza and pints of beer, to have fellowship, and have church — including communion.
