Extra, Extra, Watch All About It

Well, they tell me I'm gonna be famous. Okay, not really, but apparently I will be on TV this dinner hour (that's 5:30PM), talking, of all things, well, about porn. Channel 2 (that's Fox News) rolled on down Royal Oak today looking for pastors to interview about this Sunday's "National Porn Day" - an event sponsored by XXXChurch. XXX Church's mission is to raise awareness and accountability and healing in the church and society about the devastating effects of porn. So they came up with this National Porn Day idea to help churches create a venue to talk about this issue, with help from their experience (via their National Porn Day church kit).

So Channel 2 News wanted to see what I thought. I told him we talk about porn regularly on Sunday, that church should be a great place to talk about it, and that while I think XXX Church is doing a great thing, their Porn Kit was overpriced and I wouldn't feel comfortable identifying my church with such a singular issue (important as it is). When asked why I think people might not want to talk about this in church ... well, you'll have to watch the news.
