Tardis Church
Doctor Who to boost church popularity - yet another news story about how a church is trying to tap into modern culture to boost flagging attendance among the ‘youth’ - these stories always make the church leaders seem like out of touch old fuddy duddies sitting in a room somewhere.
Interesting choice though - I haven’t seen much of the recent Dr Who (although I used to love it as a kid) but it strikes me as being one of the least spiritual/theistic sci-fi series out there. Apparently (according to the comments) Richard Dawkins will be featuring on the series soon so that says a lot. Better to use Star Wars, or Star Trek, or the new Battlestar Galactica - which is deeply infused with religious elements, and is a brilliantly conceived and produced show.
