Religion Off The Agenda In 'Church Of Laughter'

For those who are curious about Christianity but disillusioned by the institutional Church, there is a novel solution - drop the religion. The Rev Ian Gregory, a cleric well known to readers of The Daily Telegraph for launching the Campaign for Courtesy in an attempt to improve manners, has embarked on a new project which he calls ‘Christianity without religion’. Out goes the ‘archaic mumbo-jumbo’ of church services and the ‘silly arguments about things that don't and shouldn't matter’; in come chats about anything that makes you feel good and the world's first dedicated ‘laughter room’ because ‘laughter is as important as prayer’.
