young peoples church is a hilarious spoof from horne and corden, a new sketch show in the uk. it is also painful - like a lot of good comedy it sails close to the mark.

worship tricks
where i come across creative ideas, liturgies, movies, music tracks, service outlines or anything that strikes me, i add them as worship tricks. i started these in april 2002 when i first began blogging and they have built up over the years so that i am now on the third series. this has proved a pretty popular feature of the blog.

Hi Jonny - very interesting - I happen to know that James Corden has first hand experience of the charismatic evangelical christian stable and so it's maybe not too surprising that he is working some of that out in his career as a comic actor - it's funny and a bit embarrassing which is why it rings bells for those of us that have also been there at some time in our past . . . . greetings from Oz, Hadge

I wondered if they have had a little too much of Christians. Yes, they must have had first hand experience of evangelical charismatic type meetings to spoof it that closely, which is a bit scary.
