The Church of England's Bishop of Bolton says God *hearts* sexy panties!
Activate, a women's Christian charity, has put out a book called Open the Door which offers fun suggestions for ways that religious leaders can get women interested in going to church again. The suggestions include "pamper parties" (spa nights), murder mystery evenings (Abel is dead! whodunit?!), knitting groups, and...lingerie parties.
No, seriously.
It [the book] says: "What a tragedy that we are surrounded daily with television programmes, art, film and even real-life stories sold to magazines and newspapers that champion casual sex and pornography, yet as Christians we often have so little to say about it."
Well...ok. I was under the impression that y'all couldn't shut up about it and that Teh Sex was Teh Evil, but, whatever.
It doesn't specify any particular type of lingerie to be offered at these parties but I can't help imagining what might be popular. Panties with "WWJD" on the crotch ought certainly to give a randy husband pause, no? Maybe something saucier, perhaps a red thong reading "Stone Evil" or "Temptress". Maybe man panties that say "God's Rod"! Oh, I could so get rich off this...
Bishop Cakeordeath sez:
They are the modern version of the Tupperware party and they are a natural way for women to meet. They can lead to a discussion of themes such as Adam and Eve and relations between people and God.
Or, they can lead to a ribald game of "pass the dildo" like what happened at the one lingerie party I've ever been to. (Also, he said "relations". hee!)
But hey, I'm totally in favor of sacred sexuality, so why should Christians have all the fun? If you're of a more alternative sort of faith, you can wear these proudly and testify!
