Get On The Bus, Gus Gorman!

With the Church in this country these days being very much on its knees – ironically enough – and religion the root of much terrorist evil around the world, selling God has never been tougher.

So, you’ve got to admire a bunch of friends getting together, converting an old bus, and hitting the road around Ireland to spread the good word.

Hailing from Warrenstown, County Armagh, these seven disciples came together ten years ago and are very much aware that the Church has let people down – and argue that it’s all about a relationship with God rather than having to subscribe to any one religion.

Which sounds pretty fair.

Of course, in Greystones, many people have their own personal Jesus, our religions being pretty evenly divided between two main demigods, Joe Sweeney and Bridie Mooney, whilst those who prefer their Body Of Christ to be organic, gluten-free and, of course, free-range subscribe to The Church of The Happy Pear.

Bottom line, you have to admire anyone who has enough faith in their convictions to actually do something with it. Especially when that something is spreading love rather than hate…
