Beer-friendly church meets at bar

JANESVILLE, Wis., Oct. 20 (UPI) --

A Wisconsin woman who leads weekly church services at a pub said t is perfect for preaching to the "wounded."

Kathy Price of Beloit said The Red Door ministry holds services at 10:30 a.m. every Sunday at the Willowdale Saloon in Janesville and the dozen or so parishioners are allowed alcoholic drinks and cigarettes during the service, the Beloit (Wis.) Daily News reported Tuesday.

"I want the people who don't want to go to church, those who are wounded and broken, especially from religion," Price said.

She said the idea behind her congregation is acceptance of people as they are.

"I love them where they are at rather than where they are supposed to be," Price said. "There's nobody I refuse to fellowship with. I'd much rather hang out with someone who is broken, than someone who thinks they don't have any need."
