It seems, due to the unusual nature of lockdowns in Holland, one of Europe's more progressive societies, that you can visit a house of ill repute, or a church, or a gym, but not a museum or a bar or a comedy club. So one of the clubs has reconstituted itself as The Philosophical Society; the Community of Reason, a brand new church.
According to Unherd, one of my favorite sites, a group of Dutch mayors have sent a note to the appropriate ministry, predicting a resurgence of religion.
It's an interesting world.
This story brings to mind the 'pole dancing for Jesus' trend of a few years back. Look it up on YouTube if you don't believe me. Yep, it was a thing in some parts of the Evangelical South for a while. It's beyond me why that liturgical practice never got into to Book of Common Prayer, or other mainline canonical practice. guess it proves that the spirit moves in wondrous, br rather mysterious, ways.
