Revolution Church

If you don't think there's anything new going on in the world of religion, take a look at Revolution Church, a new congregation founded by Jay Bakker, son of Jim and Tammy Faye, ministers-turned-TV-hosts who helped start the Trinity Broadcasting Network, the 700 Club, and later the PTL (Praise the Lord) Club. At the height of their popularity, they pastored the largest church in the country -- until their lives were changed by one of the biggest scandals in American history. After witnessing firsthand the excommunication treatment his family received from the church, Jay wanted nothing to do with God, and turned to a life of drugs and partying created to mask his pain and suffering. Eventually, Jay was able to conquer his demons and made a personal decision to find out who God really was. He explains on the website that he was floored to discover an understanding God offering his gift of love and grace with no strings attached, rather than the judgmental, condemning deity sitting on a throne waving an angry fist in the direction of sinners. As a result of this discovery, Jay started a church for those who feel rejected by traditional approaches to Christianity; this church is called Revolution, and is currently being filmed as a reality show for the Sundance Network. The idea behind Revolution is to show all people unconditional love and grace without any reservations due to their lifestyles or background, past or future. All services are recorded and posted on the Revolution Church website to create an 'online church for people who have given up on church.'
