The New York Times is reporting that the Church are looking to lure young men and boys back to religion by offering them 'Halo Nights' at their centres for worship.

"The alliance of popular culture and evangelism is challenging churches much as bingo games did in the 1960s. And the question fits into a rich debate about how far churches should go to reach young people. Far from being defensive, church leaders who support Halo -- despite its "thou shalt kill" credo -- celebrate it as a modern and sometimes singularly effective tool. It is crucial, they say, to reach the elusive audience of boys and young men."

It's nice to see the Church embracing all religions, even if it is the Covenant.

Something a little creepy about the church trying to find new ways in which to lure boys and young men;)
