Purpose-Driven Poop Jokes at Saddleback
Jul 20 by Ingrid Schlueter
Rick Warren’s Saddleback Church features a comedy group that does Christian improv. A secular comedian decided to visit to see what exactly Christian improv looked like, and as expected, Christians came across looking like, well, a joke.
That doesn’t stop the chief jester of improv from fancying his work as something akin to Bach’s cultural contributions.
Afterward, lots of supernice Christian people complimented my Christian-bashing jokes, including Tony Guerrero, Saddleback’s director of creative arts, who also throws a jazz and Shakespeare festival at the church. I asked him what exactly the point of all this was, and he said,
If you look back in history, most of the arts were done for the church. All the music of Bach and Mozart was written for the church. We’d like it to be a hub for the arts again.”
Here’s the story from Time magazine.
