TIME magazine reported on “Christian Improv: What’s Funny at Warren’s Church.” According to reporter Joel Stein:

I arrived at the college-campus-size Orange County church on a Saturday afternoon. After being taught various improv games with the five members of the troupe, none of which involved the Bible or moral lessons, I asked them what the difference was between secular and Christian improv. “We’re dirtier,” said Jeremy Bryan Barnes. Then he explained why they weren’t doing Christian comedy. “When we started, we’d get requests from groups to do jokes about Noah. But it wasn’t fun. We’d work too hard to work in Noah. It’s our job to entertain.” Their goal, Barnes explained, was to give people a way to get friends to the church who have turned down an invitation to a service.

Where do I begin? A comedy improv group?  Way to go Rick, you’ll reach millions with the saving Gospel of Jesus Christ this way… Not.
