Besides the absolutely marvelous easter egg hunt episode of south park I've never heard a decent explanation of the whole easter egg hunt phenomenon. Its a cool outreach opportunity, I guess, but I'm not sold yet.
I was excited for awhile when my Episcopal youth pastor friend invited me to his stations of the cross last Friday. I was looking forward to spending good Friday remembering Christ's sacrifice. Instead I spent it running around at an easter egg hunt. Don't get me wrong, I had a great time. I enjoy getting together with the church more than just about anything but I just wonder what would be more beneficial.
Lots of it is more stuff hipster types like than average white people but its still real funny.
The best (and most convicting) question (not yet answered) in the book is this one (I'm asking you):
Why hasn't the Christian religion made a difference commensurate with its message, size and resources?
