Confess!

Support Our Church!
Passing the Plate for Expenses, the Rev Reflects...

The Rev Reflects
Fred Askew Photography

We seem close to broke at the moment that our movie opens on scores of screens in the United States and Canada. We have a low budget -- we pay six musicians and the weekly rehearsal hall rental, a 2 1/2 person staff but no office, just computers and phones and musical equipment to buy and maintain. Once in a while we will take out an ad in the Onion. Most of us -- and all the singers -- are activists on top of day-jobs.

We like action. We'll lead a parade, energize a picket line in a Wal-Mart parking lot, sing at a fundraiser to save a town from a supermall... Maybe we're too busy to write grants, or , we remember so many rejections when we did have a grant-writer. We seem to fall "out of category." Amen! So - JOIN THE CHURCH. We're asking you to be our supporters. We're a good bang for the change-the-world buck.

confessions | October 24, 2005 | horseshoe, North Carolina

Dear Rev:
I confess that I was amused by your idiocy and ignorance. I am an atheist, but if there ever were a chance of believing in anything... #$@%heads like you remind me of the crap people encounter daily. I wonder who paid for youe website? Or how about your slick white jacket?? Suppose you made it yourself. you are an attention monger and nothing else. Stop screwing with weak, easily impressionable people.



Confess!

STOP SHOPPING, BLOG-ALLUJAH!
Outtakes/Quoates/Comment
I just saw "What Would Jesus Buy?" and loved it. What you are doing is more important than most people will ever know. I have been trying to tell people about the importance of breaking from consumerism ever since I read Guy Debord's "Society Of The Spectacle." Anyway, I have an online newspaper/blog with some friends and I will be writing up a review of the movie. Feel free to check it out once it's up at www.daggerpress.com. Keep fighting the good fight! -Carlin
