Jesus and Expresso?

Eagle Brook Church in Lino Lakes, Minnesota has designed their new auditorium with theater-style cup holders. “Coffee is such a part of our church culture,” director of operations Scott Anderson said. “If they’re gonna bring it in, they need a place to put it. It was a logistical decision.” However, not everyone is excited about the new convenience. Anderson admits that to some in the local press “it doesn’t seem very spiritual.” Their rational is that people are going to drink coffee and want a safe place to ensure they don’t make a mess:

But church leaders figured it was difficult to stand, sit or praise the Lord with your hands in the air while worrying about dumping a hot latte onto fellow Christians. So they decided to add cup holders — anything to boost their reputation for putting people at ease.

So what do you think? Is it a good thing or a bad thing?  We will post your comments.
