Beer glass Jesus

Confirmation, if confirmation were needed, that the Lord is blessing Beer and Bible, a Chelmsford Diocese initiative to promote the public reading of scripture. During a reading of the Good Book in an Essex pub, drinkers noticed an extraordinary phenomenon as the face of Jesus appeared in the froth of a beer glass. Encouraged by the manifestation, punters drank more and more pints in an attempt to replicate the experience. The landlord of The Punchdrunk Monk described the occasion in the hostelry as ‘spirit filled’ and others claimed that this was affirmation of the local church’s venture into Liquid Church. There is some debate as to which beer produced the froth, some are arguing for Abbot Ale while others maintain it was Bishop’s Finger, however, all are agreed that it wasn’t lager. The passage of scripture being read at the time of the appearance is believed to have been Revelation 22:17. It all adds new meaning to the song ‘As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord’.

There is a great report about Beer and Bible recently published in an Essex newspaper and further information about the initiative can be found here.
