Inflatable Church

[Pyrrho]

So, would you still consider it to be the "house of God"?

LONDON (Reuters) - A British designer has made what he says is the world's first inflatable church -- a grey plastic building with a blow-up organ, pulpit, altar, Gothic arches and fake stained glass windows.

I will avoid the obvious hot-air-and-preacher joke.

Seen it, but I can't seem to find the other thread.

Inflatable organ? Sounds like it would revolutionize acoustics.

Who needs an inflatable organ? If you want something that can be filled with hot air to make a lot of noise, get a preacher.

I'm thinking of rows of pews, filled with those blow-up sex dolls...

If the church is a success, Gill plans to diversify into inflatable pubs and nightclubs.

I think he just shot his chances of success by sending out the message to the Church that if they buy into his scheme, he's going to make nightclubs with the proceeds.

Doh!

edited to add: chances are that the same people will attend both. :D

Why the heck doesn't that article have any pictures? Of the many things I want to see pictures of, an inflatable church is near the top of the list!

Well, c4ts already reproved me for making such really obvious jokes... I WAS thinking about those implanted prostheses that they use occasionally to fix erectile dysfunction, but that just made me think of Bob Dole selling Viagra, which really killed that line of humor for me. :(

Ah, thank you. Not only did I see pictures, I saw a movie of it as well, along with a nice song by the London Gay Men's choir!
