camp as Psalter IV
Radio 4 are currently broadcasting the Sunday morning service from the Catholic Parish of Most Holy Redeemer, San Francisco. It's brilliant.
I'm sure it's unintentional, but they couldn't have found a straighter gay church, lots of solemn hymns and typical platitudes, yet with so many gay stereotypes. They've had the Bible reading: Jesus raising Lazarus from the dead and telling him to "come out" of the tomb; a brief explanation of how "coming out" is what we all need to do; a very vague sermon about Jesus hanging out with tax collectors and sinners and "buying time" for them (-?) and probably the most sibilant congregation singing along to the camply-presented hymns. As Teg said, "what is this? 'Church! The Musical'?"
