Pharisee and Publican RETOLD
By daniel | August 15, 2005
Below is a retelling of the Pharisee and the Publican parable — in this one, the pharisee is replaced by a too-cool-for-you Emergent church subscriber.
Emergent Hipster ? “I thank you. Lord, that I am not like this traditionalist: stiff, irrelevant, uncool, a real Gen-Xer, not. I practice authenticity by coordinating my fashion with my spirituality. I only act virtuous when I feel like it; there's nothing worse than hypocrisy. I look, speak, act and think like the rest of society so that I can show them how relevant Christianity is. I'm not so sure it's working. Amen.”
I found this at TallSkinnyKiwi, who found it where it was originally written, AxeGrinder – Thanks, guys!
