Having a cold one while attending church -- it's something many people may dream about, but it has become a reality in one church. 

Last weekend, East Side Christian Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma, invited the public for "Beer and Hymns", and its a decision thats turning heads. 

First Christian Church member Michael Riggs said the event was designed to be an outreach event. 

The church is one of four and a local seminary which hosted Portland author Christian Piatt. "It's a chance to reach a wide demographic of people to ask the questions of what's happening in our Christian world, what's happening in our churches, and what's happening in our community," Riggs said. 

They discussed the future of the Christian church in the 21st century and beyond and hoped others would be enticed to come spend part of their weekend, especially if a couple of beers are involved. 

You know this kind of thinking might just be what saves Christianity in the long run.

I for one am more much more open to discussing imaginary sky people when I'm hammered.

I can see the church signs now, "Come for the suds, stay for the salvation."

Brilliant.
