“The Spock” Church

From Purgatorio: "The Spock" Church (HT Scot McKnight) Should the PCUSA ever get to be too much, this is where I am moving my membership (I wonder if they ordain Klingons?). You gotta check out the pictures, complete with choir uniforms and a "Live long and prosper" communion table!

A few miles south of Lynchburg in Campbell County sits a large and attractive octagonal building which is home to one of most unique churches in the world. Founded in 1977, “The Spock,” as the church is called, is the world’s only church of Star Trek, a religion centered on the popular 1960’s television series featuring the adventures of a crew of interstellar explorers. “The Spock” promotes beliefs associated with one of the popular characters in the TV series, Mr. Spock, who was from a peace-loving race of aliens known as “Vulcans.”

Fascinating! And almost logical.
