Chris Moyles talks up church
 Chris Moyles, on a recent breakfast BBC Radio 1 show, talked about a televised Pentecost Church Service he had seen: 'That's The Spirit!' from Kingsgate Community Church in Peterborough.
He was blown away by it all! Several times he just said “It was amazing!”
“I’ve been at gigs with less atmosphere”
It’s potentially so influential in popular culture to have someone like Chris seeing and enjoying church and getting a proper idea of it and talking about it to millions of people on his radio show.

But I also think there is a shared interest and genuine surprise that there are a growing number of substantial, contemporary and lively 21st century churches in the UK.
This is because of their relevant and contextualised message of Jesus Christ – a person who just will not be stereotyped and who’s teaching still cuts through the rubbish and hopelessness in today’s society. The message is the same but the relevancy of it comes through crystal clear to a new generation searching for hope when the "wrapper" is right. I was not intending to promote Mega-Church in the UK but to simply highlight that God is on the move in his country and that this does not have to be viewed as “un-cool” any longer. Our responsibility is to GET THE WRAPPER RIGHT!
